Description:
This implementation plan describes the basis for activities planned during 1993 in the southeastern Utah portion of the Colorado Plateau. cological interpretation of information-gathered on monitoring sites requires plot-configurations that provide sufficient areal support to capture the characteristics of the-biological communities. he study objective and approach of the 1993 pilot study are to determine the sampling support area and optimum plot size for selected indicator measurements (spectral properties, vegetation composition and abundance, and soil properties). lot size variance and configuration relationships along with cost of data collection in terms of available resources, e.g., time and money, will be used for optimal plot design evaluations.
