| NOTES TO USERS: | |
| 1. | The sites in this series are ordered by increasing total downed woody material loading. |
| 2. | A list of scientific and common species names can be found in the introductory notes for Volume XII. |
| 3. | Photographs were taken in February 2007. Sampling occurred February to March 2007. |
| 4. | The marker in these photographs is a 1-foot square and the pole is painted in contrasting colors at 1-foot intervals. The pole is 30 feet from the camera. |
| 5. | Forest floor and woody material loading are reported in tons per acre; understory biomass is reported in pounds per acre. Trace measurements of understory percentage coverage, understory biomass, and crown mass are reported as "trace" or as "t." |
| 6. | A distinction is made between rotten and sound woody material for pieces larger than 3 inches in diameter. |
| 7. | Owing to forest density, certain species and size classes may be difficult to identify in the photographs. Trees more than 150 feet from the camera are out of the sample area, even though they may be visible in the photos with the exception of ACPH 01 and ACPH 06, which extended 230 feet and 180 feet from the camera, respectively. |
| 8. | Quercus chapmanii, Quercus geminata, Quercus laevis, and Quercus myrtifolia are considered shrubs for understory coverage and biomass calculations and excluded from seedling counts. Individuals greater than 4.5 feet tall are included in summaries of saplings and trees. |
| 9. | Sabal palmetto is not included in the crown mass calculations for ACPH 03. No species-specific or appropriate substitution equations were available. |
