24.	Landform:
	1 =	Glacial cirque: a semi-circular basin formed by old glaciers
	2 =	glacial sideslope: side of glacial carved valley
	3 =	glacial valley: valley carved by glacier
	4 =	glacial moraine: a rounded ridge, hill or mound of rubble left behind by a retreating glacier
	5 =	cliffs: sheer or nearly so face of rock
	6 =	colluvial (talus, scree, etc.) Rock deposits formed by the force of gravity
	7 =	talus slope: an accumulation of unconsolidated rock associated with a sloping upland area; a cone-shaped accumulation of angular rock fragments
	8 =	scree: similar to talus, yet finer in size.
	9 =	alluvium: unconsolidated sediment deposited by a stream
	10 =	alluvial fan: fan-shaped deposit of sediment formed when a stream's slope is abruptly reduced
	11 =	alluvial terrace: broad level plain that lies above the current floodplain
	12 =	alluvial valley: stream carved, V shaped valley
	13 =	mudflow: debris flow from intense water flow usually in canyon or ravine dry mountainous area
	14 =	colluvial fan: Rock deposited by gravity, falling rock spreading from steep slope to level valley area creating fan shaped deposits
	15 =	colluvial- fluvial fan: Same as above, additionally influenced by hydrological activity
	16 =	mountain slope: mountain side

25.	Land Use/Threat/Allocation: i.e., recreation, wilderness, nearby roads, allocation (planned management for the area)
26.	Habitat description/threat/allocation: description of plot (see form)
27.	Tree species: List all tree species. For each species, record percent cover by class in each diameter size class: < 1 meter in height, < 10 cm DBH, 11-30 cm DBH, 31-100cm DBH, and 100cm+ DBH. Total percentage cover is to be determined by...
28.	Dead Trees/Snags: Record the number of snags in the three size classes provided. < 10 cm DBH, 10-30 cm DBH, 31-100cm DBH, and 100cm+ DBH.
29.	Herbs, Graminoids, Shrub Species: When all species are added together, the cover may exceed 100%. List all herb, grass and shrub species. Focus on dominant species and indicator plant species. Divide plot into quarters and estimate the percent coverage of each quarter for each species. Calculate an average cover for each species and write in Total % Cover.
30.	Other coverage measurements: Calculate the percent coverage of each item with the same technique as herbs, graminoids, shrub species.
		Rock: gravel and rock Cryptograms: lichen, moss and liverwort growing on ground and epiphytically, more like a measurement of abundance Soil: exposed mineral soil (excluding duff) Litter: woody material that has fallen from the trees and shrubs that is now covering the surface of the soil. This includes downed wood less than 10cm in diameter on the ground or attached to class 1 down woody debris, twigs, and cones. Litter does NOT include leaves (fronds and decidous leaves; including conifer needles)
31.	Coarse woody debris: Downed wood > than 10 cm in diameter. Give the percentage cover of down trees in the appropriate decay class section. Class 1 woody debris with branches still attached; material with a diameter greater than 10cm will be counted as coarse woody debris, everything smaller will be counted as litter.
32.	Forest Zone: Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, Silver Fir, Mountain Hemlock, Subalpine, Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Non Forest. Use plant association guide to determine zone.
33.	Plant Association: Use the plant assoc. guide to key to the right series, enter the name and code.
34.	Lichen line: Give the distance in meters from ground to the lichen line, which is the line of average snow depth. It is not always evident, and is variable on either side of the tree, so the measurement the uphill side.
35.	Cc under (canopy coverage of understory): Does not exceed 100%. Include herb, shrub, and tree regeneration below eye level. Do not include cryptogams. This is not a total of the % cover data additionally collected. Eye level was chosen as the breakpoint height because of its ease of measure and because the difference between two observers eye level is negligable when deciding percent canopy coverage. This difference in eye level is well with in the bounds of the assumed error. The measurement is rounded to the nearest 5%.
36.	Cc over (canopy coverage of overstory): Does not exceed 100%. The total percentage cover of all tree and shrub species above eye level. The measurement is rounded to the nearest 5%.
37.	Successional Stage: Young, Even, Mature (even aged, no real mortality), Late Successional (trees in different stages of development, snags and large downed wood) and Climax (late seral stage dominate, more downed wood present at different stages of decomposition). Most plots will be in mature to late successional.
38.	Cryptogram/Fungi species: list any known species

18.	Micpos: Microposition = position on secondary landform feature usually within site of plot.
	1 = ridgetop 2 = upper third 3 = mid third	4 = lower third 5 = bench/flat 6 = toe of slope	7 = river bottom 8 = edge of or in basin or wetland 9 = draw, intermittent stream bottom
19.	Micro V/ Micro H: Microconfiguration Vert/Horiz = Shape of landform in immediate vicinity of plot.
	1 = convex	3 = straight 2 = concave	4 = undulating
