Estimating Snag and Large Tree Densities and Distributions on a Landscape for Wildlife Management

Provides efficient & accurate methods for sampling snags & large trees on a landscape to conduct compliance & effectiveness monitoring for wildlife in relation to the habitat standards & guidelines on National Forests. The methods focus on optimizing sampling effort by choosing a plot size appropriate for the specific forest conditions encountered. Two methods are available for density analysis. Method one requires sampling until a desired precision level is obtained for a density estimate. Method two is intended for use in areas that have low snag densities compared to Forest plan targeted densities.
