Check out a blog on this technique at: https://ecologylabkits.com/blogs/resources-for-students/point-centered-quarter-tree-sampling
Depending on where you are, you can ID deciduous trees in winter using twigs, bark, and leave on the ground. See examples at https://www.thoughtco.com/dormant-tree-identification-gallery-4122781
We use "Terrestrial Ecology: Outdoor Labs for Students" lab kits from https://ecologylabkits.com/
Students submit their field data using MS Forms: other instructors can get the template by emailing me at [email protected]
