Lineage

There are 37 sites in the LTMN project, each having 50 permanent vegetation monitoring plots and 5 permanent soils monitoring plots. For the soils plots, the 5 no. 20m x 20m squares are marked with a point in each corner. These points have been collected using gps, often high-accuracy gps, by the LTMN team and for some sites, contractors employed by LTMN.
