Appendix D: Rick Miller Method for Sampling Shrub-Dominated Systems
Derived from Miller, R. F.; Svejcar, T. J.; Rose, J. A. 2000. Impacts of western juniper on plant
community composition and structure. Journal of Range Management. 53: 574–585.
Macroplot: 40 x 60 m (fig. AP-1)
Plot layout
1. Permanent macroplot is staked in each corner and the lower left corner GPS’ed.
2. Three 60-m transects are located at the 0, 20, and 40 m points along the 40-m line.
Figure AP-1—Rick Miller plot design for sampling in shrub-dominated systems.

FIREMON Appendices
Tree measurements
1. Juniper tree counts are recorded along each 60-m line in a 6 x 60 m belt (a tape or 3-m pole is used
to measure the width along the belt).
2. Trees are recorded in the following classes: Old Growth, Dominant (75 percent to maximum height),
Subcanopy (3 m to 75 percent of maximum canopy height), Sapling (1 to 3 m), Juveniles (30 cm to
1 m). Trees <30 cm are measured in the 2 x 60 m shrub plot. All old growth trees (separated from
younger trees by differences in bark and canopy morphology) occurring with the 40 x 60 m macroplot
are recorded. (Note: If there are less than 20 trees >1 m in height in the macroplot, we count all trees
within the macroplot.)
3. Tree canopy cover is measured along each 60-m line using the line intercept technique (we use the
3-m PVC pole to mark the canopy edge where it intercepts the line).
4. If trees are to be aged, cores are collected at 30 cm height for trees >6 to 10 cm in diameter. Trees
<6 cm diameter are cut at ground level and a disk collected. The disk is always labeled on the top.
5. Parameters measured for cored trees are:
a. Basal diameter
b. Tree height (estimated using the 3-m pole)
Shrub measurements
1. Shrub density is measured along each 60-m line in a 2 x 60 m belt (a tape or 1-m pole is used to
measure the width along the belt).
2. Shrub cover is measured along each 60-m line using the line intercept. Live and dead cover are
recorded separately using the 15-cm rule (canopy gaps >15 cm within a single shrub canopy or dead
foliage >15 cm within a live canopy are reported as such.
Herbaceous and ground measurements
Nested rooted frequency and cover by functional groups. Optionally, also measure herbaceous cover by
species. However, we always do nested frequency and cover by functional groups.
Functional Groups:
1. Deep rooted perennial grasses (PG)
2. Shallow rooted perennial grasses (such as, Poa sandbergii)
3. Annual grasses
4. Perennial forbs
5. Annual forbs
6. Bare ground
7. Rock
8. Biological crusts and mosses
2
Nested frequency is measured in 0.02-, 0.2-, and 0.4-m plots every 3 m along each 60-m line (n = 60 plots/
macroplot).
2
Herbaceous cover is estimated in 20, 0.2-m plots spaced every 3 m along each 60-m line.
2
Functional group cover is estimated in 20, 0.2-m plots spaced every 3 m along each 60-m line.
