Abstract

This is probably the most critical phase of FIREMON sampling because this plot ID must be unique across all plots that will be entered in the FIREMON database. The plot identifier is made up of three parts: Registration Code, Project Code, and Plot Number.The FIREMON Analysis Tools program will allow summarization and comparison of plots only if they have the same Registration and Project Codes. This restriction is set because typically each monitoring project has unique objectives with the sample size and monitoring methods developed for specific reasons intimately related to each project. Comparisons made between projects with dissimilar methods may not be appropriate.
