| 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 is 58 m long, 236 degrees SW and 56 degrees NE: plot at 41-43 m on N side.
