Abstract: [First paragraph...]
Permanent sample plots (PSPs) are small demarcated areas of forest containing trees that are periodically remeasured. The plots provide estimates of changes in the forest state due to growth, silviculture, genetics and other events. The plots can be either representative of the surrounding forest (monitoring plots) or in trials (experimental plots). This information is essential for successful forest management.
