There's not much to photograph when we spend the morning collating our salamander data and writing a rough draft of the research paper.
There's more to see when we learned how to sample a forest stand.
One of the items we need to do is estimate the groundcover in a square meter.
We learned how to measure "dbh" ("diameter at breast height")
using a student "tree.
Then we measured dbh on real trees!
