Basic gear

These are some of the basic tools for surveying a quad.
- Meter^2 wooden frame
- Field computer for recording data
- Field book with pictures and notes about identifying the plants
- Personal notebook with notes about identifying the plants

Not in the picture:
- Compass for orienting the wooden frames and finding the quads
- Handlens to help with identifying plants
- Densiometer (a curved mirror used to estimate canopy coverage)
- Extra hot-pink flaging tape for marking old plots
- GPS device for finding the plots in the first place
