STEP 1 – Determine if palms are present in the intermediate-sized
nested plot and if any exceed 1.3m in
height.
STEP 2 – For any palms exceeding 1.3m, measure the
height using a clinometer (or directly if the palm
is only a few metres tall). Measure only the
height of the stem, that is, from the base up to
the spot where the stem is no longer visible.
STEP 3 – If the plot is to be remeasured, insert an
aluminum numbered tag at 10cm below dbh.
