nullable: true, editable: true, defaultValue: null, length: 255, alias: This tool is used to collect survival data of the tree seedlings planted under the Trees 4 Social Economic Empowerment (T4SEE)'s TerraFund Project . How to conduct survival count
Survival is difficult to measure by simply looking at the planting site. It is not possible, or it is time consuming to see, assess and count every single seedling in a planting site. There are different methodologies for survival count.
Only visibly planted seedlings should be included in the survival count; mature trees on the site should not be counted.
Census: For a small area less than 0.5 hectares, the best way is a census count, where you count whether every planted seedling has survived.
Sampling: If your project area is too large to count all the planted seedlings individually (above 0.5 hectares), use a systematic sampling methodology to select the areas to conduct the count.
Divide the area into smaller plots or transects and sample representative sections of the site. Ensure that the sampling design is random or stratified to minimize bias.
Mark every sample plot with a visible marker, e.g., colored metal bar, to denote the area where you will count survival rate.
Ensure that sample plots selected are an accurate representation of the project's target land use systems (separation of restoration intervention types), e.g., agroforest, natural forest, and planting arrangement e.g., planting with rows and without rows.
Ex: If the project is 80% agroforest and 20% natural forest, 80% of the sample plots should be in agroforest zones.
Ex: If 80% of a project's area is planted in rows and 20% not planted in rows, 80% of the sample plots should be in areas planted in rows.
