Permanent sample plate

The permanent sample plot is a circular sample unit that covers an area of 400 m2. For each tree, the species, diameter, defoliation of softwoods and the quality of deciduous trees are observed and measured. Some of these stems are being studied further to determine their height and age. Finally, other surveys make it possible to identify the ecological characteristics of the station where the plot is located, whether at ground level or undergrowth plants. Since 1970, more than 12,000 permanent sample plots have been established and are monitored decadally. These data are an invaluable source of information on the growth and evolution of Quebec's forests, a source that is enriched each time additional measures are added. In particular, they are used to establish forest growth rates, describe past changes, and model forest evolution. This database covers almost the entire territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. __Note:__ Notice to persons who wish to use permanent sample plots for training purposes or sampling of any kind.
