Directions to plot and tree tag:
Plot was moved to a safer area nearby. Tagged tree is a Quercus prinus of 72 cm dbh with tag #423. Conduit is at a bearing of degrees and 340 m from tree.
Plot location was pre-selected by the project's stratified random sampling design, but was moved slightly to a safer, nearby area.
Steep side slope of chestnut oak and Tsuga. Most the older Tsuga is dead or dying. There are few exotics. Many Tsuga have been cut down in the area but none in the 10th hectare.
