What we do

Section D. Walking transects

Mark presence (y) or absence (n) of these attributes within roughly 55m of your walked transect line.
D1 Fallen deadwood

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D2 Fallen trees in situ

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D3 Crown deadwood

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D4 Standing trees

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D5 Trees roughly 0-20 years old

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D6 Trees roughly 20-100 years old

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D7 Trees 100+ years

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
At the end of each transect, estimate the proportions of the following features, for the area 55m either side of your transect line.
D8 % Open grass

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D9 % Scrub

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D10 % Canopy cover

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5
D11 rough % of total trees young/mature/old

Between points 1-2 Between points 2-3 Between points 3-4 Between points 4-5

eg if about 80% of the trees are roughly 0-20, 15% are 20-100 and 5% are 100+ this would be entered as 80/15/5
