Station quality index sample plots

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.

The **Station Quality Index (PQS) plot ** is the sampling unit that made it possible to characterize the productivity of stations in the Quebec Ecological Classification System. These are circular plots where the physical and vegetation characteristics of the station have been recorded. Thus, the stems were counted, and the ecological type of the station was determined. In each plot, about ten study trees were selected, felled and cut at several heights along the trunk.

A total of **1,644** plots were installed, and **12,215** plots were analyzed. The location of the plots was recorded using a GPS. This dataset covers most of the public forest in the territory of the ecoforestry inventory of southern Quebec.

__ ⚠️ Note that__ sampling was done between 1999 and 2009, and the dataset will not be updated.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
