Instructions for Recording Dendrometry Data--Standing Trees (Example 2) 



To ensure that tree measurements are punched into cards accurately for easy 

 processing, special care must be taken in recording dendrometer measurements Another 

 important reason for being careful in recording data is that a measurement once lost 

 cannot be retaken 6 months later when one is a thousand miles away. 



The form we have used (fig. 8)11 for recording dendrometer measurements in the 

 field has several spaces marked at the top where information pertaining to the entire 

 tree is recorded. These spaces are named and carry numbers correspondina to the data 

 card columns in which the digits recorded therein will be punched." The bottom portion 

 of the field form contains four columns (T, F, S, and G) , which are used to record 

 measurements taken on the bole. Each row, across all four columns, contains the mea- 

 surements taken at a particular height on the tree. Thus, a single row of figures on
