  7. Access Plot Description Table Contains a description of each plot within each sample area number including: • Plot Size • Elevation • Soil Type • Plot Number*

  8. Access Plot Number • Data are linked by a unique plot number designated to each plot entry • Within each plot, tables can be created to hold more specific data

  9. Access Species Data Data can be recorded on individuals and species within each plot, including: • Abundance of Species • DBH and Height of Trees • Species Utility • Species ID Number*

  10. Excel Access Species List In order to avoid problems with misspellings and inconsistency with names, a species list can be created. A species list can contain: • Species ID Number* • Common Name • Scientific Name • Family
