Dot Grid• Dot grids

• A transparency with a dot grid is placed over the airphoto or map

• Each dot represents a certain area, dependant on the scale of the airphoto or map

• Dots are counted and multiplied by the scale dependent conversion factor to determine acreage of a stand

• Very fast, but not very accurate

Survey Instrument (some type)

Page 40: Bark Gauge © Determines the thickness of tree bark.

Flow/Current Meter

It measures the velocity (speed) of flowing, stream, irrigation canal, or storm water run off. The meter consists of a impeller on

the end of a sampling rod. Water Velocity is

calculated based on the speed that the impeller

turns when its inserted in to the water. Velocity is

recorded in feet per second (fps).

pH Meter

An electronic device with a sensor that

indicates if a solution is alkaline or a acidic solution. A pH of 7 indicates that the

substance is neutral.

Data Recorder

Data Recorders or Loggers store daily data in forests like temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity. Helps foresters guess when forest fires are more likely.

Water Sampler

• A plastic chamber with spring-loaded ends that can be closed remotely. The sampler is attached to a rope and lowered to the desired depth. Triggering the device seals in a water sample. The same provides information and other characteristics of the water sample at the tested water depth

Page 45: Bark Gauge © Determines the thickness of tree bark.

Water Test Kits

• Contains al the materials to analyze for nitrate, phosphorus, pH, carbon dioxide, chlorides, ammonia, sulfide, silica, hardness, and alkalinity.

Page 46: Bark Gauge © Determines the thickness of tree bark.

Soil Sampler

Page 47: Bark Gauge © Determines the thickness of tree bark.

Soil Test Kit

• The kit may include plastic tubes, solutions, reagents, sample bags, instructions, and color charts for comparing results. Foresters may use test kits in the field but the best results, samples should be submitted to a lab for a complete analysis.

Field Microscope

Similar to a hand lens. Instead of providing a

10x or 14x magnification power, the field microscope

provides a 25x or 30x power.

Page 49: Bark Gauge © Determines the thickness of tree bark.

Plant Press

A wooden frame with straps, used to press

leaves. Leaves are placed between two sheets of

blotter paper, stacked and secured in the frame. The

straps are tightened compressing the leaf

material. The plant material dries and can be mounted in a protective case in a

few days.
