Summary characteristics of forest canopy sampling methods that allow active sampling of arthropods by manual search, beating, sweeping, or fogging.

The trapping methods are not listed. Characteristics include Canopy accessibility (accessibility of tree strata: T (terminal branches), U (upper canopy), L (lower canopy), I (inner canopy)); suitable Scale of sampling (whole canopy vs. individual branches), Arthropod taxa sampled (E (endophytic), T (trunk-nesting), N (non-flying exophytic herbivores and predators), F (flying).
