Survival measurement

Fixed coordinate sample plots, revisited on schedule, reported with sample size and error.

In short

On fixed sample plots recorded by coordinates and revisited on a schedule, with the planted count known in advance. Plots are never reselected, because choosing fresh plots each time allows healthy patches to be favoured without anyone intending to cheat. The count that matters is the one after a full dry season.

What this includes

  • Sample plot design and coordinate marking
  • Baseline planted count per plot
  • Scheduled revisits including post dry season
  • Height and stem diameter recording
  • Satellite vegetation index cross check
  • Published reporting with uncertainty stated
What you receiveOutput
Survival rate with sample size and margin of error, published per block
When you need itTiming
From the first year, then at every scheduled revisit.
The common mistake

Reselecting plots at each visit, or counting before a dry season. Both produce numbers that look good and mean nothing.
