Field Sampling Plan (Condensed Version)
- Visit the field station following sufficient rainfall with at least 3 hours of time to dedicate to surveying, not including travel time. Make sure to bring (at minimum): *A camera (phone camera is okay) and way to track GPS coordinates for each photo. *Voucher slips or other numbering system to identify specimens. *Containers and/or bags to safely hold specimens. *A timer.
- Spend 1 hour surveying all three plots (total of 3 hours). If possible, keep specimens from each plot segregated, but if they get mixed that's okay as long as they can be matched to their photos and coordinates.
- Begin drying specimens in dehydrator with labels. A dehydrator will be at the field station for collectors who do not have one. Sarah will pick up specimens from the field station ~once a week.
- Make sure to post your findings to iNaturalist and add to the project.
Full version of the FSP and map of plots will be provided at training session. ...更多 ↓
