Following the general ASN Monitoring protocol (Annexure 1, TERN Australian SuperSite Network, NCRIS-2013 Monitoring Protocols, NCRIS-2013 Annexure1 Ver1_1_4.pdf) the mid-strata (live, > 1.5m height) within the core 1 hectare were surveyed along 10 gentry transects (2m wide, 50m length). All mid-strata have a numbered aluminium tag, and have been measured for DBH, height, and cover at N,S,E and W compass bearing. Diameters were measured using digital callipers, and a DBH tape for stems >5cm DBH. Heights and cover were measured using a measuring tape.
