Slope Data Collection for Picea vs Populus

Practice flashcards based on slope data collection for understanding differences in tree genera populations and environmental variables.

What is the purpose of hand-in data sheets to the instructor after the lab experiment?

To ensure that the collected data is recorded and accounted for.

What are the two genera being counted in the slope data sheets?

Picea and Populus.

How is tree density calculated according to the provided data sheets?

Tree density is calculated as total count divided by 100 m2, resulting in the density per 1 m2.

What variables are being measured at different locations of the slope?

Temperature and Light.

What does DBH stand for in the context of the tree measurements?

Diameter at Breast Height.

Which trees are included in the DBH measurements?

Trees that are alive and larger than your wrist.

What is the requirement for trees counted in the Table 1 on the data sheets?

They must be alive and larger than your wrist.

Why are there separate data sheets for the north-facing and south-facing slopes?

To compare the effects of slope orientation on tree genera and growth variables.
