- Planning &Project Initiation
- Design
- Step 1: Develop Management Objectives
- Step 2: Set Study Area and Monitoring Objectives
- Step 3: Select criteria for stratifying the study area (if necessary)
- Step 4: Select and document supplemental monitoring methods; estimate sample sizes; set sampling frequency; develop implementation rules
- Step 5: Collect and evaluate available data to determine sampling sufficiency and the validity of the strata (if available)
- Step 6: Apply Stratification and Select Monitoring Locations
- Step 7: Data Management Plans
- Monitoring Design Example
- Data Collection
- Data Management &Project Evaluation
- Analysis &Reporting
- Training
Intensification Example
[Brief text about sampling density goes here]
[Two different projects given as examples: one with high plot/sqkm and one with low plot/sqkm. Would be great to have one with high density in one stratum due to management concerns to show that densities can vary within a project]
[Discuss needs in both projects and how they tie to density, just a couple of sentences each]
