Layout Narrative ? Transect endpoints are permanently marked with rebar. Distance and compass bearing measurements to the plot location with measurements of plot orientation off the transect were taken. GPS coordinates for each corner of the plot was taken with submeter accuracy.; "Transect 15.1 m, 318 degrees NW. Plot at 10-12m along transect. Couldn't do random placement on transect - 1m buffer put the plot."
