Permanent sample plots

The permanent sample plot is a circular sampling unit that covers an area of 400 m2. The species, diameter, defoliation of softwood and hardwood quality are observed and measured for each tree. Some of these stems are further studied to determine their height and age. Finally, other surveys identify the ecological characteristics of the site where the plot is located, whether at soil level or undergrowth plants. Since 1970, more than 12,000 permanent sample plots have been established and are being tracked 10 years. These data are an invaluable source of information on the growth and evolution of Quebec's forests, a source that is enriched whenever additional measures are added. These include determining forest growth rates, describing past changes and modeling forest growth rates. This database covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. __Note:__ Notice to persons wishing to use permanent sample plots for training purposes or samples of any kind. Please contact the Forest Inventories Directorate at Inventaires.Forestiers@mffp.gouv.qc.ca or 418-627-8669 ext. 4311.
