Description

As a part of an integrated provincial forest growth and yield program, this document describes the minimum standards for accepting existing permanent sample plots (PSPs) and measuring new PSPs in Alberta. Variables required to be measured at plot and tree levels are described, along with relevant reporting formats to a proposed centralized provincial database. Priorities for establishing and measuring new PSPs in Alberta where significant data gaps exist are identified. The primary goal of this document is to ensure the quality, usefulness and compatibility of collected PSP datasets from different agencies, for the purpose of modeling the growth and yield of natural and post-harvest stands under existing and emerging conditions in a collaborative, efficient, consistent, compatible and scientifically defensible manner.
