SITE 



Surveysite - name assigned to the plot site at the time it is 

 sampled. In many cases, this name will be equivalent to the 

 "Sitename" given on the Site Survey Form, except will include 

 modifiers to differentiate this specific plot from the general 

 site. 



Example: A plot in the eastern portion of the Block 

 Mountain Standard Site might have the Surveysite name 

 "Block Mountain East". 



A few standards in naming follow: 



1. do not use element names in the site name 



2. use local place names when available 



3. use names of features on topographic maps when local names 

 do not exist 



PURP (one-character code) 



Purpose - enter one of the following codes explaining why the 

 data was collected. If more than one code applies, enter "I": 



F - evaluation of fire effect, fire history, or fuels 



C - TES plant species habitat analysis 



G - TES animal species habitat analysis 



W - general wildlife habitat analysis 



B - big game habitat analysis 



M - range monitoring (e.g., readiness, trend, utilization) 



V - correlation of vegetation with soil survey 



D - evaluation of watershed erosion, rehabilitation, or cover 



Z - research plot 



L - correlation or classification for spectral or LANDSAT 



data 



J - RNA and SIA analysis 



E - new classification or succession study 



I - integrated multi-resource inventory and monitoring 



H - data to strengthen existing classification 



X - other purpose not listed here 



PREC (one-character code) 



Precision to which the plot can be located on a topographic 

 map is defined as follows: 



S second - mappable within a three-second radius 



M minute - mappable within a one-minute radius
