Evaluate tree species richness, frequency, and the basal area of dead-standing wood within oak stands.
- Equipment
- Utilize a Relascope with a prism 1 (Bitterlich, 1984) to measure the basal area and diameter class distribution.
- Procedure
- At each site, align the Relascope perpendicular to the ground and record basal area measurements for living and dead-standing trees at a standard height of 1.3 meters.
- Documentation
- Note each measurement and specific tree species to assess richness and frequency within the stand.
