| Abstract/Summary |
Many research and monitoring activities rely on data from permanent plots, and the validity of results depends upon the quality and quantity of these data. Resources limit
the number of such plots that can be established, so it is essential that all plots satisfy as many needs as possible. This requirement impinges on the placement, design and procedures for
existing and proposed plots. The paper examines compatibilities and conflicts between the demands of growth model development, of ecological monitoring systems, and of ground truth for
remote sensing. Whilst conventional procedures provide basic data for all these applications, some minor enhancements may improve the utility of the data with negligible extra cost.
Guidelines indicate procedures for the optimal placement of plots, and for increased utility from a limited number of plots. These guidelines may enable us do more with less, to improve the
quality of our data, and to make better inferences from these data.
