Is this what you meant?
When you do post-storm, you will be using the sample plots but not the pre-storm data, since that has nothing to do with what is on the ground. Its information about tree density, however, was loaded into the worksheet to be used in the post-storm analysis (you will see the cell A14 read "Sample Dat...

Excel template for STRATUM data
I was talking at a conference yesterday with some STRATUM users, and we agreed that it was a pain to have everybody have to format the Excel spreadsheet with the right headers and then try to remember the right codes. I told them I would post a free template for general use, so here it is: Click to ...

Good questions, again
These problems you are raising come from the fact that the same Excel spreadsheet is serving for both manual entry from paper and for automatic upload from PDAs. The column labeled CY has been changed to a list (y/n) field in the new version coming out soon (hopefully), precisely to clear up this po...

This has always given me trouble
UFORE seems to use these terms--especially sequestration--in a particular way: carbon sequestration refers in UFORE to the removal of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. carbon storage refers to the amount of carbon bound up in woody mate...

Hmmm
In statistical terms, though, doesn't the standard error of a mean depend on the number of times the population is sampled (i.e., n) rather than the percentage of the population being sampled? Put another way, won't 30 samples one-tenth of a mile long usually produce a better estimate than three sam...

That's it.
Bingo! Glad our input has helped.
I hope the i-Tree team will review their SDAP documentation with an eye toward making this point clearer for users from the very start.

Thought maybe this outline of the disaster process might clarify things a bit: A Major Disaster Declaration usually follows these steps: Local Government responds, supplemented by neighboring communities and volunteer agencies. If overwhelmed, it turns to the State for assistance The State responds ...

It seems to me that this understandable question arises from a confusion betweem an estimate of storm damage and a record of storm damage. Here is what I mean: In the 24 hours after a storm event, a rapid and accurate estimate is required so that state and then federal disaster declarations can be r...
