question_1 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 1. Which BAF prism would have the potential to pick-up the most ‘In’ trees?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_2 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 2. In the Midwest, point cruising is commonly done using a 10 BAF angle gauge or prism. But, too many ‘In’ trees can make cruising more difficult and leads to mistakes. On the other hand, too few ‘In’ trees can lead to increased variability which in turn may require more points to achieve the desired level of accuracy. As a general rule, how many ‘In’ trees should you have per point when point cruising?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)

question_6 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 6. You’re out cruising timber and you come across an 8-inch DBH balsam fir. At about twenty feet up in the tree, you see where the terminal leader was killed and a lateral branch took over causing a 3’ crook before the bole is straight again. H4 is at about 35’. The tree appears to be sound and contain good wood both above and below the rot. What should you do?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_7 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 7. You’re out cruising timber and come across a 24-inch DBH white pine tree that has a spiral seam running up the bole for the first 14 feet including the 1’ stump.

question_11 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 11. You’re cruising a stand of aspen in the Keweenaw Peninsula in late March. Your plot center stick indicates that the snow depth is about 46”. At what point on the bole should your basal area measuring instrument be aimed?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_12 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 12. You’re cruising timber and are using a calibrated prism as your basal area measuring instrument. You mark your plot center with a stake in the ground and proceed to determine which trees are in or out. With your eye centered over the stake, you start your cruise. The area you’re cruising contains many trees that fork at 3.5 inches above the ground. In many cases, both of the forks contain merchantable wood. By chance, the Sale Administrator walks by and observes your technique. Without even measuring a tree, he informs you that your cruise is most likely inaccurate and won’t pass the check cruise. What are you doing wrong?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_13 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 13. You’re cruising timber and your prism indicates a true borderline tree. You know that you need to check the tree against the appropriate limiting distance table, so you pull out your logger’s tape and measure the distance from the plot center to the tree. Unfortunately, the tree’s bole is ellipsoidal in shape. Where on the tree do you measure to?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_14 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 14. When point cruising, you measure an H4 in the main stem, but there is merchantable pulp volume in the branches. What do you do to account for the volume in the remainder of the tree?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_15 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 15. You’re cruising some open-grown white pines that are old, sawlog-sized trees. The bole of one tree is 24 inches at DBH and contains about 10 feet of sawtimber above the 1’ stump before “exploding” into a multi-stemmed top. Above the 3’ of fork, is a multi-stemmed top contains five distinct stems, each looking to be about 8 inches in diameter and each containing 25 feet of pulpwood. Basically, you have five distinct pulp-size white pine stems growing out of the top of this 24-inch diameter bole. What do you do?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_16 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 16. You are cruising a hardwood stand and measure a red maple tree that is 14 inches at DBH with a 1’ stump. The tree has a tight spiral seam that only affects two faces (50%) of the first 36 feet. The tree tapers to about 10.0” DOB at 26’. Above this point, the main stem continues without any pulp stoppers to 4.0”, at about 63’. What do you record?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)

question_18 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 18. You are out cruising and the weather is lousy. It’s cold and snowy and you’ve just lost your 10 factor prism which has been calibrated to a factor of 10.07. You’ve already put in 43 plots and need 12 more before you reach your goal. You have a Cruz All that has a 20 BAF notch calibrated to 20.05. You also have an uncalibrated 10 BAF Panama Tube that is slightly damaged on the critical end. What should you do?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
question_19 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 19. How would you record the diameter of a sugar maple tree that is 18 inches in diameter just below a fork at 4 feet? The fork has grown together, but you can see light at 4.6 feet. One stem is 12 inches in diameter just above the fork and the other is 10 inches., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)

question_29 (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: 29. You are cruising a jack pine clearcut near Grayling and come across a 14” black oak on your plot. It turns out to be a measure tree. The tree is on an old fence line and there is barbed wire embedded in the tree up to about 4’. You had set the stump height for the cruise at 0.1’ since the clearcuts in your area are cut by processors and the stumps are very low. For this tree, you enter a 4’ stump height in MobileMap. How will this affect your height measurements?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 15, nullable: true, editable: true)
