Survey Description
During a three-day period in May 1993, lodgepole pine tree tops were sampled by helicopter at 276 sites in the Fish Lake area on the Fraser Plateau, British Columbia. A 1625 km2 area was surveyed along 715 km of grid lines at a spacing of 2.5 km between sample sites. The top 0.5 m (stem, branches, needles and cones) comprising 2-3 years of growth was collected from a healthy tree at each sample site. The fresh weight of each sample varied from 500 g to 1 kg. Wherever possible, a tree top was sampled within a 200 m radius of the preferred site. The only departures from the pre-assigned grid were due to recent burns, pine beetle kill, bogs and complex multi-storied, multi-species stands. Production was 22 sites/hour (2.75 minutes/sample) when flying along preset grid lines. The data are published in GSC Open File 2839.
