This manual has been prepared to assist field surveyors in the completion of the Ecosystem Field Forms, including site, soil, vegetation, mensuration, wildlife habitat assessment, tree attributes for wildlife, and coarse woody debris data forms. These are a series of forms for the collection of ecological data in British Columbia.
The field manual is organized by section - one for each data form. The forms, as a package, are called Ecosystem Field Forms (FS882). The forms can be ordered from Government Publications (1-800-663-6105) and are numbered as follows:
Site Description FS882(1) SITE
Soil Description FS882(2) SOIL
Vegetation FS882(3) VEG
Mensuration FS882(4) MENS
Wildlife Habitat Assessment FS882(5) WHA
Tree Attributes for Wildlife FS882(6) TAW
Coarse Woody Debris FS882(7) CWD

Ground Inspection FS212(2) - included as an insert- GIF
The forms are designed to be used in various inventories, e.g., ecosystem classification, terrestrial ecosystem mapping, and wildlife habitat assessment. Not all the data fields on all the forms will be completed on every sample plot. Rather, project objectives will determine which forms and fields need to be completed. Likewise, project objectives will determine where and how plots are located.
