| Fixed Radius Plots: How to calculate TPA | Trees tallied x Plot size (10, 20, 40) |
| Calculating Plot Radius for Fixed Radius Plot | Square root of (43560/plot size)/pi |
| Fixed Radius Plots: Three steps to calculating Basal Area Per Acre | 1: Use cross sectional area equation for all trees. ft^2 = 0.005454 x DBH^2 2. Multiply trees cross sectional area by the plot size. (10, 20, 40) 3. Add all trees together: = ft^2/acre |
| Fixed Radius Plots: Three steps to calculating Volume per acre | 1: Use volume equation for all trees. ft^3 = 0.0025 x DBH^2 x THT 2. Multiply volumes by the plot size (10, 20, 40) 3. Sum the values of all trees = ft^3/acre |
| Variable Radius Plots: How to calculate Basal Area Per Acre | Trees Tallied x Basal Area Factor (10, 20, 30) = ft^2/acre |
| Variable Radius Plots: Three steps to calculate Trees Per Acre | 1: Find cross sectional area of trees. ft^2 = 0.005454 x DBH^2 2: Divide the BAF by the cross sectional area of each tree 3: Sum all trees = xTPA |
| Variable Radius Plots: Three steps to calculating volume per acre | 1: Use volume equation for trees. ft^3 = 0.0025 x DBH^2 x THT 2: Multiply Values by TPA per that tree 3: Sum all values = ft^3/acre |

| What height is DBH measured | 4.5 feet |
| How many square chains in an acre | 10 sq chains |
| Flow equation | = (A)(L)(C)/T A= Average cross sectional area L= Length of stream reach C= Coefficient T= Time |
| 3 components to a wetland | Hydrology, Hydric Soils, Vegetation |
| FSQI | Forest site quality index. An overall site rank using a number of features. Low ranks indicate xeric and high ranks indicate mesic. |
| Site index | Take the height and age of the tree and use a site index curve. |
