SnagPRO (Version 1.0)
SnagPRO (Version 1.0) software analyzes log, snag, and tree densities
based on peer-reviewed, scientific sampling protocols. It was specifically
developed to analyze log, snag, and tree data in support of sampling
methods presented in general technical reports (Bate and others)
that will be published by the PNW Research Station in 2008. SnagPRO
provides example field sheets for data collection as well as a user-friendly,
spreadsheet-based process for data input and analyses. SnagPro also
provides recommendations for optimizing sample design (sample size
and sample stratification) based on pilot surveys. Finally, SnagPRO
provides a wide range of statistical analyses and output to meet
a variety of analysis needs. All program applications include tutorial
files with example uses. The software can be used by any resource
disciplines interested in estimating log, snag, or tree characteristics
to meet forest research or management objectives.
