50 randomly chosen plots from the original baseline survey:
- Altitude
- Aspect
- Slope form
- Land use
- Biotic effects
- Species presence
- Seedling counts
- Tree growth (height and diameter)
- Stand structure
- Linear features.

50 plots located randomly within the NVC identified by the base line survey:
- Species presence
- Physical features
- Biotic features.
