Lesson 7 Quiz: Gathering Stand-Level Information Quiz
Site index is:
- The market value of a given acre of land
- How long it will take trees to grow 120 feet in height
- How long it will take trees to reach 10 inches in diameter
- A measure of the dominant tree productivity of a site
Site index is a relationship between a tree's:
- Height and diameter
- Age and diameter
- Height and age
What does it mean if a stand has a 50-year site index of 100?
- The dominant trees will be 100 feet tall at age 50
- All trees will be 100 feet tall at age 50
- Trees greater than 10 inches will be 100 feet tall at age 50
- The 100 largest trees will be at least 10 inches in diameter by age 50
When measuring slope with a clinometer you should look:
- Directly at the ground
- Uphill or downhill at something the same height above the ground as your eye
- At the top of a tree 100 feet away either uphill or downhill
- Across the slope at something on the same level on the slope as you
If you have a south-facing slope, what is your aspect (in degrees)?
- 0
- 90
- 180
- 360
