3 A11 Tally heet Guide Northeast Field Guide, Version 1.5 January 2001 TALLY HEET GUIE On the seven page sample record there are several variables that may require entries, either coded or written, by the field crews. Where a numbered variable requires a coded entry, the number of digits required for that entry is indicated by the number of 's immediately below the variable number on the sample record. ome variables require measurements to decimal fractions of inches or feet. For those items, it is understood that the last digit represents a decimal fraction. For example, a tree BH of 23.4 inches is coded as 234. The decimal points are never placed in coded entries. The entries for some variables will have been made in the office. These are usually variables through These entries may be incorrect, but do not change any previously made entry without the approval of your supervisor. Notes should be recorded as often as needed to clarify coded entries and to explain unusual or unique situations. Notes are also used to direct attention to anything about a particular plot that the crews think is important now, or may be important when the plot is remeasured during the next inventory. If necessary, attach extra sheets of notes. The value of notes cannot be overemphasized! uffice it to say that a few notes are made at a fraction of the cost that would be involved in going back to a plot to answer questionable data. Take a moment to read the statement printed on the inside cover of this document. Even though it was written more than sixty years ago, this statement still applies to everything that we do today. Field data collection is the most important part of this inventory. Everything that comes afterward is dependent on a complete and accurate set of data. The information to be recorded on the sample record is determined by the category of plot (sample kind) and the condition class status assigned by the field crew. Examples of the specific data variables needed for each category of plot appear on the following pages. NOTE: When using the data recorder the following information is displayed from plot history files stored in the data recorder memory: plot identification and previous tree information (tree number, species, horizontal distance, azimuth, previous tree class / merchantability class, and previous BH). In general, the variables that specifically apply to the previous inventory and the current inventory (such as species, horizontal distance and azimuth) are the variables that may be changed. 287
