I found my sampling strategy difficult to implement in that the samples could be clumped close together. In order to eliminate this difficulty I could try adjusting the number of steps associated with the random number generated, for example, only taking 10+ steps from my starting points instead of 9 or less.
I also found the data gathered to be difficult to work with. Douglas Fir circumference and ambient temperature do not seem to provide much information on their own in such a short timeframe. In order to make this data easier to interpret over the duration of this study I would like to add quadrant aspect and the relative subject population within each quadrant.
