    condition change?

    a.  Stand Size

    b.  Owner Class

    b.  Seedling/sapling stand vs. pole size stand

    c.  18" pine stand vs. 35" pine stand

    d.  Nonstocked forest vs. seedling/sapling stand

27. Which of the following statements regarding Similar Identified
    Condition is true?

    a.  If Similar Identified Condition = 0, then most of the condition
        level items do NOT need to be recorded for the condition

    b.  If two forest areas are identical in all aspects, but one is
        reverted, then lump both of the forest areas into one condition
        and record Similar Identified Condition = 1

    c.  Similar Identified Condition is only used to link reverted,
        landcleared, and other areas that are too small to stand on
        their own, but have to be broken out regardless of size, to the
        most similar condition on the plot

    d.  If Similar Identified Condition = 0, then most of the condition
        level items need to be recorded for the condition

28. Which of the following statements regarding Similar Identified
    Condition is false?

    a.  Similar Identified Condition is required for every condition
        class

    b.  Similar Identified Condition valid codes are 0-9

    c.  Two forest conditions are both greater than 120 feet wide and
        1.0 acre. They are almost identical, except that Stand Density
        is different. Furthermore, one of the conditions is reverted
        forest land; the other was forest at the last inventory. The
        cruiser should link the Similar Identified Condition code in the
        reverted condition to the condition number of the forest/forest
        condition

    d.  Similar Identified Condition is a shortcut to avoid duplicating
        condition data

[Use the following scenario to answer questions 27-30:]{.underline}

A forested area, definitely greater than 1.0 acre, narrows to a point
that extends into a large pasture. The pasture is also definitely
greater than 1.0 acre (see diagram below). Subplots 1, 3, and 4 all fall
completely in the pasture. Subplot 2 falls in the narrow point of woods.
You determine that the angle of the point is roughly 75 degrees. You do
the best you can to bisect the angle of the point and determine where
the forest is 120 feet wide. You determine that the center of subplot 2
falls about 5 feet across the estimated 120 foot boundary, in the area
where it is greater than 120 feet.
