Abstract:

The exercise describes releve field methods and discusses the multivariate analysis of releve data. The application of releve data to problems of habitat evaluation, forest inventory, and research projects in Minnesota was presented by experts from the Minnesota Natural Heritage Program, the Minnesota County Biological Survey, and the Univ. of Minnesota. All participants received a releve handbook that covered the history of the method, field instructions, data-entry forms, and an overview of a menu-driven computer system SAS Version 5 used to manage a releve database.
