What are Remeasured Annual Plots? • Any annual inventory after the first one • Same plot footprint at the same place • Account for trees measured on plot that was forested at prior visit Isn’t ‘remeasured’ from a periodic survey
What can ‘go wrong’? • If it can go wrong it will go wrong • If it can’t go wrong it will go wrong
“Noise” Data that should notchange, changes. Tree species Reserved Class Site Productivity Class Data that should change, changes in a strange way. DBH/DIA shrinks Total height gets shorter Rotten cull decreases Ownership
