EMAN plot in fire regeneration study area
Yukon Forestry invited the ES class to study the 1997 fire along the Copper ski trail just following the fire. Part of the class mapped the area of the fire with GPS while the balance of the class set out three forest structure plots. one near the hottest area of the burn, a second near the margin of the burn and the third in an area outside the burn. The class collected information and identified trees near the margin, they thought survived the fire. These plots proved to be of significant educational and forestry value.
We decided to extend the survey method in the burn so that we could study longer tern regeneration of the boreal forest following fire. The ES class surveyed out an EMAN 100 meter square plot, subdivided into 20 meter blocks with each 20 meter intersect marked with a survey pin.
ES classes conducted 20 m plot analysis over a period of four years. Soil pits were set out and protocols and data collection spreadsheets were established for ongoing input.
