• Sample instruction records
• Firstly the map of the forest is prepared
• Line is drawn based on the fixed distance
• Then sample plots are allocated on the line (in the centre, either left or right side of)
• The bearing of and distance between two lines aswell as plots will be noted on sample instruction records
• Plot allotment on the ground
• Based on map starting point is found in the field
• First plot according to shape is established
• After that, other nearest sample plot is found withthe help of compass and tape
• Similar process is repeated for end of the cruising

An example of Line plot cruising

Intensity= (N*sample plot area/Total area)* 100
