Observational analysis shows that all slope correction methods yield similar mean tallies, indicating flexibility for foresters.
A forester has a choice of three methods of slope correction when point-sampling. This study suggests all three methods provide similar estimates of mean tally per point and standard deviation of individual point tallies. Thus, a forester is free to choose the method he finds most convenient.
