## C. Tree Density Tally

Land Unit: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Project: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Plot ID:

\_\_\_/\_\_\_/\_\_\_ Field Crew: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

●Tally trees taller than 4.5\' (1.37-m) by diameter size class and
species within the 1-m x 30-m belt transect. Dead trees leaning \> 45
degrees are not tallied (counted as fuel). For small \"layering\" trees,
pull trees upright to determine if height is \> 4.5\'.

●Tally the \"seedling/saplings\" - *live* trees less than 4.5\' tall by
species in the three 1-m x 1-m subplots at 3m, 15m and 27m along the
transect. If it can be determined, class by resprout (R) or not for
hardwood spp. Note, if different size plot is used: Plot length:

## D. Tree Measurement Data Sheet

Record the following information for two live trees (\> 4.5 feet tall)
of each species for each size class recorded within the tree density
plot. Select the trees to be measured, by those closest to the mid-point
of the tree density belt (15-m point). Measure the heights in 1/10ths of
meters (i.e 15.3 m) and DBH in 1/10ths of centimeters (i.e. 5.3 cm).
Note in comments tree damage, insects or disease.

Tally the number of trees taller than 4.5\' (1.37-m) by species, status
(live/dead), and diameter size class (\< 5cm, 5-10 cm, 10-15 cm, 15-23
cm, \> 23 cm) within the 1-m x 30-m belt transect plot area. Record the
following information for two live trees (\> 4.5 feet tall) of each
species for each size class recorded within the tree density plot.
Select the trees to be measured, by those closest to the mid-point of
the tree density belt (15-m point). Measure the heights in 1/10ths of
meters (i.e 15.3 m) and DBH in 1/10ths of centimeters (i.e. 5.3 cm),
crown fuel base height (CBFH) (m). Note in comments tree damage, insects
or disease. **Diameter size classes: \< 5cm, 5-10 cm, 10-15 cm, 15-23
cm, \> 23 cm**

**Definitions & Tally Rules**

Downed woody material is dead twigs, branches, stems and boles of trees
and shrubs that have fallen and lie on or above the ground.

\>Measurement of diameter is taken perpendicular to the central axis of
the piece at the point it intersects the sampling plane.

\>Measure woody material first to avoid disturbing it and biasing your
estimates.

\>Do not count dead woody stems and branches still attached to standing
shrubs and trees (see below)

\>If leaning more than 45 degrees and dead, but still attached at the
bole it is counted as down and woody.

\>Do not tally any particle having a central axis that coincides
perfectly with the sampling plane.

\>If the sampling plane intersects a curved piece more than once tally
each intersection

\>For rotten logs that have fallen apart try to estimate its original
diameter

\>Tally uprooted stumps and roots not encased in dirt. Do not tally
undisturbed stumps.

##  C.1. Tree Crown Measurements

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="2.9381944444444446in"
height="5.763194444444444in"}

In this protocol, we recommend recording a single measurement: **crown
fuel base height**. This will usually be the same as crown base height
(Fig. 1), except where the tree has extensive dead branches continuous
with the live crown. In Fig. 1, due to the gap between ladder fuel and
the live crown, CFBH = CBH. If, in the observer's opinion the dead
ladder fuel is dense and fine enough to carry fire into the live crown,
the lower end of the continuous ladder fuel should be recorded as crown
fuel base height. These measurements are intended to provide inputs for
fire behavior modeling programs, or in building custom fuel models.
