Measuring up
In the 50h forest monitoring plot, each tree with a trunk diameter of greater than 10mm get geo-referenced, tagged, and a full bio-survey. Researchers will survey the plot every 3-5 years, so over time, we can build up a rich GIS map of the plot, showing the dynamics over time. This will allow valuable insight into the functioning of PNG's rainforest ecosystems
