EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The present manual constitutes the technical reference for the field teams carrying out the Forest Resources Assessments to be conducted from 2014 until 2015 in the sites of the National REDD+ System Philippines Project in the Visayas and Mindanao selected for Forest Land Use Planning (FLUP) and the implementation of REDD+ eligible activities (Borongan City and Maydolong in Eastern Samar, Caraga, Manay and Tarragona in Davao Oriental), in support of the elaboration and pilot testing of Forest Reference (Emissions) Levels FR(E)Ls and a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system.
The underlying methodology has been developed and described by LENNERTZ R. and SCHADE J. (2014) in a separate document. It is a refinement of the forest carbon baseline study carried out from 2011 until 2012 in Leyte in the framework of the Climate relevant Modernization of Forest Policy and Piloting of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Project, taking into account evolving international standards and good practices with regards to forest carbon stock assessment for the estimation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and removals in compliance with the latest (2006) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for national GHG inventories in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector following the "Stock Difference Method".
The Forest Resources Assessments pursue the objectives of providing estimates of carbon stocks with quantified precisions for key carbon pools: Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) at Tier 2 level (in due time Tier 3 after the first re- measurement); Below-Ground tree Biomass (BGB) at Tier 1 level; Dead Organic Matter (DOM) at Tier 2 level (in due time Tier 3 after the first re- measurement); Soil Organic Matter (SOM) at Tier 1 level; of key forest strata according to the 2010 forest cover map prepared by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), based on the establishment, observation and measurement of 200 Sampling Units per Project site (600 Sampling Units in total).
After a short introduction to the Project, as well as a brief summary of the methodological background, the scope and the objectives of the Forest Resources Assessments, the manual successively provides details about: the inventory design, notably regarding (i) the inventory method, (ii) the number, distribution and configuration of Sampling Units, (iii) the parameters to be assessed / measured, (iv) the manpower, equipment and logistics for the implementation, (v) data recording, processing and analysis, and (vi) Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) (Chapter 2); the retrieval and permanent marking of Sample Points and Satellite Centers (Chapter 3); the observations and measurements to be carried out (Chapter 4); the sequencing of observations, measurements and data recording (Chapter 5).
Not all particular situations that may be encountered during the implementation of the inventories can be anticipated beforehand. If situations arise for which the instructions are not clear or complete, the solution(s) temporarily adopted by the inventory teams shall be documented and brought to the attention of the authors. The latter shall study the issue and amend / augment the inventory instructions so as to lift ambiguities and ensure proper and standardized implementation of the inventory procedures.

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1 National REDD+ System Philippines Project The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Housing and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) funded National REDD+ System Philippines Project contributes to the overall goal that Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), relevant government agencies, local government units and local communities / indigenous people in the Philippines use a national framework, based on internationally recognized ecological and social safeguards, to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and to achieve co-benefits (biodiversity conservation and livelihoods improvement). The Project supports the implementation of the Philippine National REDD- Plus Strategy (PNRPS) by assisting the process towards REDD+ Readiness.
The Project works in 3 sites in various regions of the Philippines for REDD+ demonstration activities: Region 5 Luzon / Bicol Region, Region 8 Eastern Samar, and Region 11 Davao Oriental.
Project Component 4 shall achieve the following indicators: Forest Land Use Plans (FLUPs) and co-management agreements with clear land tenure arrangements for local communities and Indigenous People (IP) groups and biodiversity conservation agreements with local actors are in place for at least three pilot areas covering a total forest area of at least 150.000 ha. REDD+ eligible activities (avoided deforestation and degradation, reforestation, assisted natural regeneration, sustainable forest management) in at least three pilot areas for emissions reduction and CO2 removals have been implemented.
Moreover, substantial contributions shall be furnished to: Forest Reference (Emissions) Levels (FR[E]Ls) for the three sites; Concept for a REDD+ Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system; Forest policy and regulatory frameworks related to Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM), tenure arrangements, Co-Management Agreements (CMAs), IP/ICC concerns, and biodiversity conservation; Knowledge management and Project monitoring and reporting.
It is in support of the elaboration and pilot testing of FR(E)Ls and the MRV system that Forest Resources Assessments shall be carried out in Eastern Samar and Davao Oriental.
1.2 Methodological Framework The 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for national GHG inventories propose two methods of calculating carbon stock changes in a given carbon pool for a given land-use category in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector: the "Gain - Loss Method", estimating the difference between increases (transfer from another carbon pool or increase of biomass [removal]) and decreases (transfer to another carbon pool or emissions) of the amount of carbon; the "Stock Difference Method", estimating the change of carbon stocks through measurements at two (or more) points in time (which reflects the emissions and removals).
The "Stock Difference Method" is robust and transparent, particularly to monitor carbon stock changes from forest degradation, which, in the Philippines, is a GHG emission source key
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 3
category (category "3 B 1 a Forest Land Remaining Forest Land") with a presumably higher emission level than deforestation (sub-category "3 B 2 b i Forest Land Converted to Cropland").
The "Stock Difference Method" requires two estimations: (i) forest area (preferably by strata that are correlated to carbon stocks) and (ii) carbon stock per unit area of forest.
For both estimations, it is essential to refer to DENR Memorandum Circular 2005-005 of 26 May 2005 with regards to the forest definition: "Land with an area of more than 0.5 hectare and tree crown (or equivalent stocking level) of more than 10 percent. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 meters at maturity in situ. It consists either of closed forest formations where trees of various storeys and undergrowth cover a high portion of the ground or open forest formations with a continuous vegetation cover in which tree crown cover exceeds 10 percent. Young natural stands and all plantations established for forestry purposes, which have yet to reach a crown density of more than 10 percent or tree height of 5 meters are included under forest. These are normally forming part of the forest area which are temporarily unstocked as a result of human intervention or natural causes but which are expected to revert to forest. It includes forest nurseries and seed orchards that constitute an integral part of the forest; forest roads, cleared tracts, firebreaks and other small open areas; forest within protected areas; windbreaks and shelter belts of trees with an area of more than 0.5 hectare and width of more than 20 meters; plantation primarily used for forestry purposes, including rubber wood plantations. It also includes bamboo, palm and fern formations (except coconut and oil palm)."
The forest area by strata has recently been mapped nationwide by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), through visual classification of medium- to high- resolution multi spectral satellite data, acquired mainly 2010.
Carbon stock per unit area of forest for the different strata must be determined using appropriate probabilistic (statistical) field sampling inventory methods. The adopted inventory methodology, developed and described by LENNERTZ R. and SCHADE J. (2014), is a refinement of the forest carbon baseline study carried out from mid-2011 until end 2012 in Leyte in the framework of the BMUB funded, GIZ-assisted Climate relevant Modernization of Forest Policy and Piloting of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Project (SCHADE J. and R. LUDWIG, 2013), building on the experience gained during this inventory, and taking into account evolving international standards and good practices.
1.3 Project Sites Considering the variability of the prevailing natural, cultural and institutional conditions throughout the Philippines, 3 replications were deemed necessary to validate lessons learned in the field from activities contributing to the up-scaling of the implementation of the PNRPS. Following the geographical division into major island groups, one replication each should be implemented in Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, respectively.
In the 3 sites, Municipalities as territorial units for FLUPs and Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs), have been scrutinized in February 2014 with the concurrence of an international short-term expert (SEIFERT-GRANZIN J., 2014) for their potential, applying criteria regarding (i) forests and threats, (ii) priority watersheds, (iii) biodiversity conservation, (iv) poverty, (v) logistics, (vi) replicability, (vii) preparedness and commitment of the LGUs, and (viii) for one site at least priority areas of the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP). The recommended sites and proposed activities:
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 4
in Albay (Luzon) the Municipalities of o Malinao, Tabaco City and Tiwi, to serve as a test case for developing a prototype financing mechanism for conservation of forest carbon stocks, and o Ligao City and Oas for FLUP and sustainable forest management, as well as developing the link between the National Greening Program (NGP) and a REDD+ registry; in Eastern Samar (Visayas) the Municipalities of Borongan City and Maydolong, covering the Suribao river watershed offering opportunities for creating synergies between a ridge-to-reef or integrated watershed ecosystems management approach, protected areas management (as part of the Samar Island Natural Park [SINP]) and REDD+; and in Davao Oriental (Mindanao) the Municipalities of Caraga, Manay and Tarragona, featuring considerable areas of Closed Forests being part of Ancestral Domains (ADs) with Certificate of Ancestral Domain Titles (CADTs) either approved or in the process of delineation; were approved in May 2014 by the Project Steering Committee (PSC). The Forest Resources Assessments shall be limited to Eastern Samar and Davao Oriental.
1.4 Objectives The Forest Resources Assessments shall provide estimates of carbon stocks (expressed in t C / ha) with quantified precisions for the key carbon pools (with definitions according to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national GHG inventories) o Living Biomass (LB), composed of - Above-Ground Biomass (AGB), defined as follows: "All biomass of living vegetation, both woody and herbaceous, above the soil including stems, stumps, branches, bark, seeds, and foliage. In cases where forest understory is a relatively small component of the above-ground biomass carbon pool, it is acceptable for the methodologies and associated data used in some tiers to exclude it, provided the tiers are used in a consistent manner throughout the inventory time series." - Below-Ground tree Biomass (BGB), defined as follows: "All biomass of live roots. Fine roots of less than (suggested) 2 mm diameter are often excluded because these often cannot be distinguished empirically from soil organic matter or litter."; and o Dead Organic Matter (DOM), composed of - Dead Wood (DW), defined as follows: "Includes all non-living woody biomass not contained in the litter, either standing, lying on the ground, or in the soil. Dead wood includes wood lying on the surface, dead roots, and stumps, larger than or equal to 10 cm in diameter (or the diameter specified by the country)." (for the Forest Resources Assessments in the National REDD+ System Philippines Project sites, the inventory threshold / minimum diameter for dead wood is set to 5.0 cm), and - Litter (LI), defined as follows: "Includes all non-living biomass with a size greater than the limit for soil organic matter (suggested 2 mm) and less than the minimum diameter chosen for dead wood (e.g. 10 cm), lying dead, in various states of decomposition above or within the mineral or organic soil. This includes the litter layer as usually defined in soil typologies. Live fine roots above the mineral or organic soil (of less than the minimum diameter limit chosen for below-ground biomass) are included in litter where they cannot be distinguished from it empirically." (for the Forest
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 5
Resources Assessments in the National REDD+ System Philippines Project sites, the inventory threshold / minimum diameter for dead wood is set to 5.0 cm); of key forest strata according to the 2010 forest cover map prepared by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), distinguishing: o Closed Forests (forests with a tree crown cover of more than 40%) and o Open Forests (forests with a tree crown cover of more than 10% up to 40%); within and (for comparison purposes) adjacent to the Project sites;
at T0 (prior to the implementation of REDD+ eligible activities); using permanent sampling units in view of the implementation of the "Stock Difference Method" for determining GHG emissions and removals.
Considering that more than 96% of the AGB biomass of tropical forest is found in trees with a diameter at breast height (Dref) ≥ 10.0 cm (GILLESPIE A. et al., 1992; in the Philippines, LASCO et al., 2006, report from Surigao del Sur 98% of the AGB in trees with a Dref ≥ 19.5 cm), the biomass of trees with a Dref < 5.0 cm and the non-tree biomass (except for bamboos and palms, which are also included in the Philippine forest definition, see Chapter 1.2) is not key and will not be accounted for in the inventories.
BGB of live trees, bamboos and palms shall not be estimated directly, but calculated using the BGB to AGB ratio (R) of the IPCC guidelines.
The carbon stocks of mangroves (a non-key forest stratum, since of the total 2010 forest area, mangroves represent only 4.07% in Eastern Samar and 1.00% in Davao Oriental) shall be accounted for using IPCC Tier 1 data (IPCC, 2013: Supplement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national GHG - Coastal wetlands: Tables 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 and 4.11).
IPCC Tier 1 data shall also be used to account for Soil Organic Matter (SOM) (IPCC, 2006: IPCC guidelines for national GHG inventories - AFOLU: Table 2.3), defined as follows: "Includes organic carbon in mineral soils to a specified depth chosen by the country and applied consistently through the time series. Live and dead fine roots and DOM within the soil, that are less than the minimum diameter limit (suggested 2 mm) for roots and DOM, are included with soil organic matter where they cannot be distinguished from it empirically. The default for soil depth is 30 cm."

2. INVENTORY DESIGN 2.1 Inventory Method The inventory adopts a stratified probabilistic (statistical) sampling using permanent Sampling Units (SUs), referring to the Closed Forests and Open Forests strata of the 2010 NAMRIA national forest cover map.
The population sampled to estimate the forest biomass and carbon stock consists of the following elements: live trees (including bamboos, palms, rattan and tree ferns) with a diameter at breast height or above buttress (Dref) ≥ 5.0 cm (in tropical forests, the smaller trees represent less than 4% of the AGB, are not key and hence excluded from the inventory); dead wood, both standing and lying, down to a small end diameter of 5.0 cm (the smaller fractions are part of the litter); litter.
For live trees and dead wood, the inventory threshold consistently amounts to 5.0 cm (in diameter).
The population elements are sampled with a probability proportional to their frequency, using fixed circular area plots.
2.2 Number and Distribution of Sampling Units 200 Sampling Units per Province shall be inventoried, 150 thereof within the municipal territories of the LGUs with Project field activities (Borongan City and Maydolong in Eastern Samar, Caraga, Manay and Tarragona in Davao Oriental). The other 50 Sampling Units are spread throughout the remaining provincial territory.
The Sample Points (centers of the Sampling Units) are randomly drawn from those nodes of a quadratic grid with a side length of 1 km located in Closed Forests or Open Forests according to the 2010 NAMRIA national forest cover map.
In the absence of official / authoritative administrative boundaries, the municipal boundaries downloadable from the GADM database of Global Administrative Areas Version 2 (see http://www.gadm.org/) have been used as reference.
Appendix 1 lists the coordinates of the Sampling Units to be inventoried in Eastern Samar, Appendix 2 those to be inventoried in Davao Oriental.
The numbering of the Sampling Units reveals whether the Sample Point is located within the selected municipal territories (001 to 150), or within the remaining territory of the Province (501 to 550). The numbering follows the sequence of the random drawing of the Sample Points.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 7
2.3 Configuration of Sampling Units Each Sampling Unit consists of the following elements (see Figure 1 below): 1 circular plot with 25 m radius for the ocular assessment of the land cover. 4 "satellites" with their centers at 40 m horizontal distance from the sample point in the 4 cardinal directions (North, East, South and West), each consisting of 2 concentric circular plots: o 5 m radius plot for: - the sampling of "small-sized" live trees (all species, plus bamboos, palms, rattan and tree ferns) with 5 cm ≤ Dref < 20 cm; - the sampling of standing dead wood with Dref ≥ 5.0 cm; - the sampling of lying dead wood down to a diameter of 5.0 cm; - the sampling of litter. o 10 m radius plot for: - the sampling of "big-sized" live trees (all species, plus bamboos, palms, rattan and tree ferns) with Dref ≥ 20 cm;

2.6 Implementation 2.6.1 Inventory teams The inventories are carried out by two Inventory Teams, each composed as follows: One Team Leader, with a B.Sc. in Forestry, and at least 2 years working experience in forest resources assessment / monitoring; One Assistant, with a B.Sc. in Forestry, and at least 2 years working experience in forest resources assessment / monitoring; Two to four Helpers (according to the accessibility of the SUs being measured), recruited locally, familiar with the area and if possible knowledgeable about tree species / forest products.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 10
The Team Leaders are responsible for the security of the team, for the equipment entrusted to them, and for the work of their members. They direct the members, validate the data observed or measured by their Assistants, and complete the field data forms.
The Assistants manipulate the equipment and carry out the observations and measurements.
The Helpers advise on the retrieval of the Sample Points, carry the equipment, open / brush trails, access and sighting lines, mark the Sample Points and centers of the Satellite Centers, help the Assistants in carrying out the measurements, and mark the trees.
Based on the experience gained in the implementation of the forest carbon baseline study from mid-2011 until end 2012 in Leyte in the framework of the BMUB funded, GIZ-assisted Climate relevant Modernization of Forest Policy and Piloting of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Project, one Inventory Team working 2 x 12 days without break per month (to reduce the proportion of time spend in mobilization / de-mobilization) should be able to establish and measure an average of 16 Sampling Units per month. Hence, with two Inventory Teams, it is expected that 200 Sampling Units will be accomplished within 6.5 months (incl. an initial 6-days plus 1-week training).
2.6.2 Inventory equipment Each Inventory Team is equipped with the following: One (1) handheld GPS receiver with proven sensitivity / ability to operate under difficult signal reception conditions (under tree cover), such as GARMIN GPSmap 62 and 64 series, or GARMIN GPSmap 76 and 78 series, to retrieve the sample points and measure coordinates. One (1) handheld "dendrometer" for the measurement of tree heights using the trigonometric principle, hence capable of measuring distances and inclination angles, such as the LASER TECHNOLOGY Inc. (LTI) TruePulse Laser 200 laser rangefinder. One (1) handheld precision compass graduated in degrees for the measurement of bearings / azimuth, such as the SUUNTO KB-14/360. One (1) handheld precision clinometer such as the SUUNTO PM-5/360 as alternative to and backup for the dendrometer. One (1) fiberglass distance tape, 30 m, to measure distances. One (1) steel diameter tape, 5 m, to measure tree diameters. Per Sampling Unit five (5) iron rods (of at least 1 cm diameter and 50 cm length) and five (5) bright-colored 1/2 " PVC pipes (of 50 cm length) for the marking of the Sample Point and Satellite Centers. One (1) hatchet. One (1) first aid kit. One (1) backpack to carry the equipment. Personal field work gear for the Team Leaders and Assistants (boots, rain coats, head lamps, sleeping bags, etc.) Camping equipment (tents, mobile stoves, etc.).
2.6.3 Inventory camps Considering the location of the Sampling Units to be inventoried and their accessibility, studied on the basis of available geographic data such as topographic, infrastructure and road network maps, GOOGLE Earth images, etc., the Sampling Units are grouped into batches assigned to inventory camps strategically located, preferably in Barangays or Sitios.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 11
A reasonable compromise must be found between (i) the number of Sampling Units assigned to a specific inventory camp (ideally not less than the number of Sampling Units that can be observed / measured by the two (2) Inventory Teams in one (1) field mission, to minimize the "unproductive" time spend travelling from the Project office to and from the inventory camp), and (ii) the distance from the inventory camp to the furthest Sampling Unit.
2.6.4 Data recording, processing and analysis In the field, the inventory data are recorded using the set of specifically designed data forms shown in Appendix 3.
The data forms shall progressively be submitted to the field office for encoding into a specifically developed MySQL-powered database, whose architecture has been developed and described by BARROIS V. (2014).
2.7 Quality Assurance / Quality Control 2.7.1 Quality Assurance (QA) During the establishment, assessment and measurement of the Sampling Units in the field, the inventory instructions contained in the present manual must strictly be complied with. If situations arise for which the instructions are not clear or complete, the solution temporarily adopted shall be documented and brought to the attention of the authors of the present manual. The latter shall study the issue and amend / augment the inventory instructions so as to lift ambiguities and ensure proper and standardized implementation of the inventory procedures.
During data acquisition, the Team Leader shall repeat aloud all information / data he receives from his team members prior to their recording on the field data forms. Before leaving the Sample Point and each of the four Satellites, he shall verify whether all needed data haven been properly recorded, and that no equipment will be left behind.
At the end of each day, the Team Leader shall re-check the completeness of the field data forms, and store them properly collated in a dry and safe place until handing them over to the Junior Advisor in charge of the coordination and supervision of the field work.
The Junior Advisor shall regularly, more frequently at the start of the inventory, accompany the inventory teams to closely watch whether the inventory procedures, assessments and measurements are carried out correctly. Errors must be corrected swiftly. The Assistants should not permanently work with the same Team Leader, but regularly be rotated, so as to improve the consistent and homogenous implementation of the inventory protocol.
Data encoding shall closely follow the data acquisition in the field, so that eventual gaps and errors observed can be ironed out with minimal effort, and the inventory teams be cautioned on typical and critical issues.
2.7.2 Quality Control (QC) Ten percent (10%) of the Sampling Units chosen at random and without prior knowledge of the Inventory Teams will be subject to an independent re-measurement. The Team proceeding to the re-measurement shall be led by the Junior Advisor, and assisted by the Team Leader responsible for the original establishment, assessment and measurement of the Sampling Unit. All data of the Sampling Unit shall anew be acquired, recorded and processed. The field measurement error (in % of the difference of the total forest carbon
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 12
stock per ha between the measured and the re-measured Sampling Unit, with reference to the re-measured Sampling Unit) will be computed and documented.
Data encoding will likewise be checked, in a first round through the limitation of data entry ranges, the sorting of data to spot oddly small and large numbers, and using programmed plausibility checks revealing implausible data constellations. Once the data are seemingly purged of gross mistakes, ten percent (10%) of the encoded data chosen at random will be compared with the field data forms.

3. RETRIEVAL AND PERMANENT MARKING OF SAMPLE POINTS AND SATELLITE CENTERS 3.1 Approach of Sample Points using GPS Receivers The Sample Points are accessed / retrieved on the basis of their coordinates using orientation maps and handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) stand-alone receivers such as the GARMIN GPSmap 62, 64, 76 and 78 series GPS receivers (see Figure 2). As with all GARMIN GPS receivers, the Sample Points can be uploaded from a computer as "Points of Interest (POIs)" rather than as "waypoints", using the "GARMIN POI loader" software (freeware downloadable from http://www8.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp). "POIs" offer the advantage that unlike "waypoints", they cannot be edited nor erased from the GPS receivers (unless connected to a computer and with the use of the aforementioned software).
Figure 2: GARMIN GPSmap 64 and 78 series GPS receivers
Prior to navigating to a "waypoint" or "POI", the GPS receiver must be properly configured. With GARMIN GPSmap 62, 64, 76 and 78 receivers, press the MENU button twice to open the < Main Menu >, and verify respectively set the following configuration options: < Setup > \ < System > \ < GPS > \ < Normal >; < Units > \ < Distance and Speed > \ < Metric >; < Position Format > \ < UTM UPS >; < Map Datum > \ < WGS 84 >; < Heading > \ < Display > \ < Numeric Degrees >; < Heading > \ < North Reference > \ < True >; < Heading > \ < Compass > \ < Auto >; < Altimeter > \ < Auto Calibration > \ < On >; < Altimeter > \ < Barometer Mode > \ < Variable Elevation >; < Routing > \ < Activity > \ < Direct Routing >.
The built-in compass must regularly be calibrated, notably after moving long distances, experiencing temperature changes, or changing batteries: press the MENU button twice to open the < Main Menu >, select < Heading > \ < Compass > \ < Calibrate Compass > and follow the instructions displayed.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 14
To navigate to a "waypoint", press the FIND button, and select the destination from < Waypoints > among the stored "waypoints" "POI", press the FIND button, and select the destination from < Extras > \ < Custom POIs > among the stored "POIs" (shown in the order of their proximity). Then select < GO >, and cycle to the < Compass > window pressing repeatedly the PAGE button. The most informative selection of data fields for the < Compass > window, which can be customized by pressing the MENU button and selecting < Change Data Fields > while viewing the < Compass > window, is as follows: up left: < Waypoint at Dest. > (displays the name of the "Waypoint" or "POI" selected as destination); up right: < Off Course > (displays the distance between the actual position and the straight line connecting the position where the navigation was initiated to the destination); down left: < Bearing > (displays the azimuth / bearing in ° to the destination); down right: < Distance to Dest. > (displays the distance in km or m to the destination).
The approach of a targeted Sample Point is best studied together with the local Helpers / Guides, who are well versed with the terrain, existing trails, unsurmountable barriers and/or obstacles such as steep hills or waterlogged areas to be avoided. As long as the destination is still several hundred meters away, it is faster to proceed towards it following trails or easy to moderate terrain conditions, heading into the right direction, rather than following a straight line.
3.2 Location of Sample Points and Satellite Centers using Compass and Distance Tape Considering the limited positional precision of stand-alone GPS measurements / navigation (in practice ± 10 m, as evidenced by the virtual movement of an immobilized GPS receiver, which is a remarkable precision to come close to any point on the globe from whatever origin over considerable distances, but insufficient to measure distances of less than 100 m to 200 m, since the relative precision deteriorates to 10% to 5%), the location of Sample Points must be determined covering the last 10 m to 15 m by compass and horizontal distance measurement (referring to the azimuth / bearing and distance to the Sample Point displayed by the GPS receiver on the < Compass > window once the distance to the destination is less than 15 m) using a distance tape, in order to prevent bias (preference for easily accessible areas) when closing in on the Sample Point. The same applies to the location of the four (4) Satellite Centers of each Sampling Unit, located at 40 m in the four (4) cardinal directions (North = 0°; East = 90°, South = 180°; West = 270°) from the Sample Point.
Two persons (Helpers) are needed for accurate horizontal distance measurements using distance tapes ("chain"), a head chainman also acting as brusher, and a rear chainman. On level terrain, the distance tape is stretched straight and horizontally above the ground. On slopes or uneven ground, measurements are made by steps ("horizontal chaining" or "brake chain"), in such a way that differences in elevation between the ends or intermediate points of the distance tape (for easy monitoring of the cumulated horizontal distance covered using multiples of 5 m) are balanced by raising the lower end.
The azimuth / bearing is measured with the help of a handheld precision compass such as the SUUNTO KB-14/360 (see Figure 3). The compass man (Assistant) sends the head
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 15
chainman in the desired direction. Whenever the end either of the distance tape or of the range of vision is reached, the compass man directs the head chainman to place a pole. On steep terrains as well as over short sighting distances (less than 5 m), however, the compass does not permit reliable measurements / readings. In these cases, it is necessary to prolong the already covered straight line with the help of poles that are aligned with at least two poles placed along the established portion ("tree pole method").
To adjust focus, close one eye and look through the optics. Turn the cranted black optics knob until numbers are clear.
To measure / read azimuth / bearing, hold the compass horizontally, so that the scale can move freely. Keep both eyes open, and aim through the optics to the target. An optical illusion makes the sighting line and the scale appear over the target. Read the value from the sighting line once the scale is stable.
Figure 3: SUUNTO KB-14/360 handheld precision compass
Whenever unsurmountable obstacles, such as cliffs, thick clusters of pandan (Pandanus spp.) or buho and alike (Schizostachyum spp.), etc. are encountered when measuring horizontal distances, it is necessary to offset the straight line. The offset (see Figure 4) is done perpendicularly to the straight line. As soon as the obstacle has been circumvented, the original straight line must be returned to.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 16
Figure 4: Horizontal distance measurement with offset
3.3 Permanent marking of Sample Points and Satellite Centers The Sample Points and the 4 Satellite Centers of each Sampling Unit are permanently marked with an iron rod (of at least 1 cm diameter and 50 cm length), forced at least 4/5 of its length into the ground, topped with a 50 cm bright-colored 1/2 " PVC pipe to facilitate the retrieval for Quality Control (QC) purposes.
3.4 Inaccessible Sample Points and Satellite Centers Should one of the Satellite Centers turn out to be inaccessible, it may exceptionally be re- located at 80 m horizontal distance from the Sample Point in the next cardinal direction, turning clockwise (see Figure 5, page 17: if the Western Satellite Center is inaccessible, its center may be re-located at 80 m horizontal distance to the West + 90° = North from the Sample Point).
Should a Sample Point turn out to be inaccessible, the Sampling Unit will be abandoned. In due time, a replacement Sample Point will be drawn at random from those nodes of the quadratic grid with a side length of 1 km located (i) in the same forest stratum and (ii) at a similar elevation as the inaccessible Sample Point.

4. OBSERVATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS 4.1 Administrative Location The administrative location, comprising at least the Region, Province and Municipality, and as much as possible the Barangay, is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five (5) such observations are recorded per Sampling Unit (in some cases, a Sampling Unit may be crossed by an administrative boundary).
4.2 Target Coordinates The target UTM coordinates, comprising the Zone (in the Philippines 50 in Palawan, 52 in the eastern-most portions of Mindanao, 51 elsewhere), the Northing in m and the Easting in m, are recorded for the Sample Points. The coordinates are taken from the lists in Appendix 1 (Sampling Units for Eastern Samar) or Appendix 2 (Sampling Units for Davao Oriental).
4.3 Actual Coordinates The actual UTM coordinates, comprising the Zone (in the Philippines 50 in Palawan, 52 in the eastern-most portions of Mindanao, 51 elsewhere), the Northing in m and the Easting in m, are measured at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five coordinate measurements are performed per Sampling Unit. The coordinates are read from the GPS receiver, immobilized at the Sample Point or Satellite Center, using "averaging". With GARMIN GPSmap 62, 64, 76 and 78 receivers, press the MENU button twice to open the < Main Menu >, select < Waypoint Avg. >, followed by < Create Waypoint >, and wait until the sample confidence has reached 100%. This may take up to 5 minutes, under poor satellite signal reception conditions more. There is no harm letting the GPS receiver continue the averaging after the sampling confidence has reached 100%. Hence, the GPS receiver can be left at measurement point, while performing other observations / measurements.
4.4 Elevation The elevation in m above sea level is measured at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five (5) elevation measurements are performed per Sampling Unit. The elevation is read from the GPS receiver. With GARMIN GPSmap 62, 64, 76 and 78 receivers, cycle to the < Elevation Plot > window pressing repeatedly the PAGE button, and read the elevation from the < Elevation > data field. If the latter is not shown, press the MENU button, select < Change Data Fields >, and choose < Elevation >.
4.5 Slope The slope is measured at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five slope measurements are performed per Sampling Unit. The slope corresponds to the average inclination in % measured with a clinometer such as the SUUNTO PM-5/360 (see Figure 6) in two opposite directions along 10 m segments (oblique distance) of an imaginary straight line passing through the Sample Point / Satellite Center and following the steepest slope gradient (where water would run off).
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 19
To adjust focus, close one eye and look through the optics. Turn the cranted black optics knob until numbers are clear.
To measure / read vertical angle, hold the clinometer vertically, so that the scale can move freely. Keep both eyes open, and aim through the optics to the target. An optical illusion makes the sighting line and the scale appear over the target. Read the value from the sighting line once the scale is stable.
Figure 6: SUUNTO PM-5/360 handheld precision clinometer / dendrometer
4.6 Slope Orientation The slope orientation is measured at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five slope orientation measurements are performed per Sampling Unit. The slope orientation corresponds to the azimuth / bearing in ° of the downhill direction of the imaginary straight line used for the measurement of the slope gradient, read from a compass such as the SUUNTO KB-14/360 (see Figure 3).
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 20
4.7 Terrain The terrain / topography class is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five terrain / topography classes assessments are performed per Sampling Unit. The assessment through ocular inspection distinguishes the 11 classes defined by FAO (FAO, 2012: National Forest Monitoring and Assessment - Manual for integrated field data collection. Version 3.0): Plateau: Relatively flat (slope ≤ 5%); terrain of great extent and high elevation, above adjacent lowlands limited by an abrupt descent scarp on at least one side; may be dissected by deep valleys and deeply incised rivers. Summit / crest: Crest of any kind or hilltop; can be sharp or rounded. Upper slope: Upper slope of hillside (located on the upper 1/3 of the slope) (shoulder). Middle slope: Middle slope of hillside (slope > 5%) (back slope). Lower slope: Lower slope of hillside (foot slope). Bench / terrace: Horizontal zone of average width over 30 m interposed in the valley side (slope < 15%) or a terrace over 6 m width. Valley: Very wide, gently sloping depression with predominant extent in one direction commonly situated between two mountains or ranges of hills; the profile may be U- or V-shaped; includes river valley (formed by flowing water) or glacier valleys. Plain: A large flat to very gently undulating area at a low elevation with reference to surroundings Narrow depression: Enclosed depression or small, narrow valley or distinct crater (including ravine, gorges, gullies, canyons, etc.). Water course: Permanent or temporary water course (river, etc.). Dunes: Sandy hills developed through sand deposits from wind erosion / storms, often unstable and moving.
4.8 Land Classification The land classification (legal status) is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points and all Satellite Centers. Hence, five land classification assessments are performed per Sampling Unit. The assessment through ocular inspection distinguishes 2 classes according to the latest available land classification map from DENR: Forest land. Alienable and disposable.
4.9 Land Cover The land cover is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points within a radius of 25 m horizontal distance and all Satellites within a radius of 10 m horizontal distance from the centers. Hence, five land cover assessments are performed per Sampling Unit. The assessment through ocular inspection distinguishes forests (further classified according to their type, see Chapter 4.10) and the 11 non-forest land cover classes used in the 2010 NAMRIA national forest cover map: Forest: Land with an area of more than 0.5 ha and trees able to reach a minimum height of 5 m in situ with a crown cover of more than 10% (see Chapter 1.2 for the detailed definition). Marshland / swamp. Fallow. Shrubs.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 21
Wooded grassland. Grassland. Annual crop. Perennial crop. Open / barren land. Built-up area. Fishpond. Inland water.
4.10 Forest Type The forest type is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points within a radius of 25 m horizontal distance and all Satellites within a radius of 10 m horizontal distance from the centers. Hence, five forest type assessments are performed per Sampling Unit. The assessment through ocular inspection distinguishes the 8 natural forest types used in the conduct of the second National Forest Resources Inventory (1979 - 1988), plus 2 additional types for planted (man-made) forests: Dipterocarp old growth forest: Tropical rain forest dominated by Dipterocarpaceae with traces of commercial logging. Dipterocarp residual forest: Tropical rainforest dominated by Dipterocarpaceae after commercial logging. Mossy forest: Tropical rainforests of the high elevations dominated by Podocarpaceae, Myrtaceae and Fagaceae with trees of medium height and short boled, covered with epiphytes. Submarginal forest: Tropical rainforest dominated by Leguminosae and lesser utilized species, mainly restricted to shallow and excessively drained lime stone soils. Closed Pine forest: Pure stands of Benguet or Minodoro Pine with crown cover > 30%. Open Pine forest: Pure stands of Benguet or Minodoro Pine with 10% < crown cover ≤ 30%. Mangrove old growth forest: Tidal forests dominated by Rhizophoraceae located on mud flats at the mouths of streams along the shore of protective bays, without traces of exploitation. Mangrove reproduction forest: Tidal forests dominated by Rhizophoraceae and Verbenaceae dominated by Api-api (Avicennia officinalis) located on mud flats at the mouths of streams along the shore of protective bays, where utilization had been intensive and big trees had been removed. Native tree plantation forest: Planted forest dominated by native rainforest species. Other plantation forest: Planted forest dominated by non-native, often fast growing tree species.
4.11 Tree Crown Cover The tree crown cover is observed at and recorded for the Sample Points within a radius of 25 m horizontal distance and all Satellites within a radius of 10 m horizontal distance from the centers. Hence, five tree crown cover assessments are performed per Sampling Unit.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 22
The assessment through ocular inspection distinguishes the 3 classes currently used by NAMRIA for forest cover mapping: Non-forest: tree crown cover ≤ 10%). Open forest: 10% < tree crown cover ≤ 40%. Closed forest: Tree crown cover > 40%.
4.12 Plant Diversity The plant diversity is counted at and recorded for all Satellites within a radius of 5 m horizontal distance from the centers. Hence, four plant diversity counts are performed per Sampling Unit. The inventory consist of the counting of distinct higher plant species observed, even if not known by their local, official common or scientific names. To avoid repeated counting of the same species, the count should be done by only one person, systematically collecting specimen of leaves from plants that can be reached from the ground.
4.13 Ground Coverage Classes by Vegetation Layers Ground coverage classes for six vegetation layers are observed and recorded for all Satellites within a radius of 5 m horizontal distance from the centers. Hence, four times six ground coverage classes assessments are performed per Sampling Unit. For each of the following 6 vegetation layers: Grass, herbs and mosses. Tree regeneration, shrubs and plants with 50 cm ≤ height < 130 cm. Tree regeneration, bushes and plants with 130 cm ≤ height < 200 cm. Undergrowth of any kind with 2.0 m ≤ height < 4.0 m. Lower trees and other plants with 4.0 m ≤ height < 10.0 m. High trees with height > 10.0 m. the following 4 ground coverage classes are assessed through ocular inspection: None. Coverage ≤ 10%. 10% < coverage ≤ 50%. Coverage > 50%.
4.14 Ground Coverage and Average Depth of Litter Litter, defined as all non-living biomass with a size > 2 mm and < 5.0 cm (i.e. the minimum diameter / inventory threshold for dead wood), lying dead, in various states of decomposition above or within the mineral or organic soil, is inventoried and recorded for all Satellites within a radius of 5 m horizontal distance from the centers through ocular estimates of the ground coverage in %, and the average depth in cm.
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 23
4.15 Mid-Diameter and Length of Lying Dead Wood Sections Lying dead wood, defined as all non-living woody biomass lying on the ground with a diameter ≥ 5.0 cm (i.e. the inventory threshold for dead wood and live trees) not contained in the litter, is inventoried and recorded for all Satellites within a radius of 5 m horizontal distance from the centers. For each lying dead wood section within the 5 m radius plot (without considering those portions extending beyond the plot, see Figure 7, the following measurements are performed: Mid-diameter: Mid-diameter outside bark in cm, rounded to 0.1 cm, of the dead wood section within the 5 m radius plot, without considering those portions (i) extending beyond the plot, or (ii) with a diameter < 5 cm. The mid-diameter is measured using a caliper or a diameter tape. Length: Length in m, rounded to 0.1 m, of the dead wood section within the 5 m radius plot, without considering those portions (i) extending beyond the plot, or (ii) with a diameter < 5 cm. The length is measured using a distance tape.
If a lying dead wood section features branches, these are measured separately.
Figure 7: Measurements on lying dead wood sections
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 24
4.16 Observations / measurements on Live Trees and Standing Dead Wood Live trees and standing dead wood with a reference diameter ≥ 5.0 cm are inventoried and recorded for all Satellites within a radius of 5 m horizontal distance from the centers for o "small-sized" live trees (all species, plus bamboos, palms, rattan and tree ferns) with 5.0 cm ≤ Dref < 20.0 cm; o standing dead wood with Dref ≥ 5.0 cm; 10 m horizontal distance from the centers for "big-sized" live trees (all species, plus bamboos, palms rattan and tree ferns) with Dref ≥ 20.0 cm.
For each of the sampled live trees and standing dead wood, (i) the species, (ii) azimuth and (iii) horizontal distance from the Satellite Center, (iv) Dref and for standing dead wood with Dref ≥ 5.0 cm as well live trees with Dref ≥ 20.0 cm (v) the merchantable height are observed / measured and recorded as described hereafter.
4.16.1 Species Local common names of trees, bamboos, palms, rattan and tree ferns are not suited to unequivocally identify a species, because they vary from dialect to dialect, and even from place to place. They should only be recorded if the species cannot be identified using an official common name or a scientific name. A comprehensive, though not exhaustive species list is provided in Appendix 4 (alphabetically sorted on the common names) respectively Appendix 5 (alphabetically sorted on the scientific names).
4.16.2 Azimuth The azimuth / bearing in ° of the center of each sampled live tree and standing dead wood at its basis / ground level is recorded as measured from the Satellite Center using a compass such as the SUUNTO KB-14/360 (see Figure 3).
4.16.3 Horizontal distance The horizontal distance in m, rounded to 0.1 m, of the center of each sampled live tree and standing dead wood at its basis / ground level is recorded as measured from the Satellite Center using a distance tape or a laser rangefinder such as the LTI TruePulse Laser 200 (see Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10).

4.16.4 Reference diameter The reference diameter (Dref) outside bark in cm, rounded to 0.1 cm, of each sampled live tree and standing dead wood is recorded as measured using a diameter tape at the following measurement points (see also Figure 11): in general at "breast height", i.e. 1.3 m above ground ("Diameter at Breast Height [DBH]") as measured from the uphill side of the stem; for trees with prominent buttresses / basal flanges at breast height, the diameter is measured 30 cm above the end of the buttresses / flanges ("Diameter Above Buttress [DAB]"); for trees with bulges, swellings, depressions, branches or other abnormalities at breast height, the diameter is measured just below and above the abnormality at a point where it ceases to affect normal stem form, and computed as the average of the two measurements; for stumps with a total height < 1.3 m at the section.
If a live tree / standing dead wood forks immediately above breast height, the diameter is measured below the swell resulting from the fork. If a live tree / standing dead wood forks below breast height, the stems are considered as separate trees / standing dead woods. On
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 27
leaning live trees / standing dead woods, the "breast height" must be determined along the axis of the stem.
Source: ZÖHRER F., 1980: Forstinventur: Ein Leitfaden für Studium und Praxis Figure 11: Reference diameter measurements
Prior to the measurement, all vines and climbers, as well as other hindrances that may impede the proper use of the diameter tape at the measurement point on the stem must be removed. The diameter tape is wrapped around the stem, carefully levelled at the
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 28
measurement point, and tightened. In some cases (e.g. big trees, dense vegetation, etc.), two (2) persons may be required to place the diameter tape into the right position. To avoid mistakes when reading the diameter tape, the latter should always be used so that the graduation numbers are upright.
Whenever it proves impossible to measure the reference diameter with a diameter tape as described above (e.g. when the measurement point is inaccessible), it may be approximated by comparison with a metric tape (commonly the reverse side of diameter tapes) that is held horizontally at the base of the tree (see Figure 12).
Figure 12: Diameter estimates for inaccessible measurement points
4.16.5 Merchantable height The merchantable height in m, rounded to 0.1 m, of each sampled live tree with Dref ≥ 20.0 cm and of each sampled standing dead wood with Dref ≥ 5.0 cm including stumps is recorded as measured using either a clinometer / dendrometer such as the SUUNTO PM-5/360 (see Figure 6), or a laser dendrometer such as the LTI TruePulse Laser 200 laser rangefinder (see Figure 13).
Merchantable height of trees with Dref ≥ 35.0 cm is defined as the linear distance along the axis of the stem from the stump height to the top merchantability limit which is restricted by forks, large limbs, sweep, crook or decay, which make segments of the stem un- merchantable for saw logs. For trees with 15.0 cm ≤ Dref < 35.0 cm, the volume section is limited by a minimum top diameter inside bark which is fixed at 60% of Dref. By this definition, the measurement to the base of the tree has to be a measurement to the place where the felling cut would be applied, usually about 50 cm above ground, or above the buttresses. Limits for merchantability are the following: Size of limbs and knots: The sum of diameters in any ¼ m segment ½ the diameter of the log at that point. Where limb and knot diameters exceed this limit, the merchantable height cannot extend through that point, unless there is a merchantable section of 3 m or more in length above that point. Sweep: Sweep is a curvature in a tree section. Sweep is measured in centimeters of departure of the center line of the section from a straight line joining the centers of each
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 29
end of the section. The departure is measured at the midpoint of the section containing the sweep. A simple rule for maximum sweep is that departure minus allowance for long taper cannot exceed ½ the small end diameter of the section. Merchantable length is terminated below a section with excessive sweep unless there is a merchantable section of 3 m or more in length above that section. Crook: Crook is a more or less abrupt bending or angle in a tree section. Crook is measured in cm of maximum departure of the section center line from an extension of the center line of the straight portion of the log. The maximum departure cannot exceed ½ the small end diameter of the log. Excessive crook should terminate the merchantable length unless there is a merchantable section of 3 m or more in length above that section.
Height measurements using the SUUNTO PM-5/360 clinometer / dendrometer: Height (H) can be estimated from any known horizontal distance through two (2) readings of the % scale, aiming to the upper point (merchantable or total height of the tree) respectively to the lower point (base of the tree). For best results, the horizontal distance used for the sightings should be approximately equal to the height to be measured. Taking into consideration the sign of the lower reading (+ for readings > 0%, - for readings < 0%), the height is computed using the following formula: (푈 − 퐿) × 퐷 퐻 = 100 with H height, in m U reading, aiming to the upper point, in % L reading, aiming to the lower point, in % D horizontal distance
Example: For readings aiming to the upper point of + 62% respectively to the lower point of - 23% from a horizontal distance of 18.0 m, the formula yields: ((+62) − (−23)) × 18.0 퐻 = = 15.3 m 100
For horizontal distances of 15.0 m and 20.0 m, scales graduated in m are provided to do direct readings using the following formula: 퐻 = (푈 − 퐿) with H height, in m U reading, aiming to the upper point, in m L reading, aiming to the lower point, in m
National REDD+ System Philippines Project FRA Field Manual 30
Example: For readings aiming to the upper point of + 7 m respectively to the lower point of - 5 m from a horizontal distance of 20.0 m as illustrated to the right, the formula yields: 퐻 = ((+7) − (−5)) = 12.0 m
Source: FAO, 2012: National forest monitoring and assessment. Manual for integrated field data collection, V. 3.0
Example: For readings aiming to the upper point of + 15.5 m respectively to the lower point of + 3.5 m from a horizontal distance of 20.0 m as illustrated to the right, the formula yields: 퐻 = ((+15.5) − (+3.5)) = 12.0 m
Source: FAO, 2012: National forest monitoring and assessment. Manual for integrated field data collection, V. 3.0
For leaning trees, the height can be estimated making use of the Pythagorean theorem.
Example: For readings aiming to the upper point of + 11.7 m respectively to the lower point of - 1.6 m from a horizontal distance of 20.0 m, and considering the lean of the tree, projecting the tip at 5.0 m horizontal distance from its base as illustrated to the right, the Pythagorean theorem yields:
퐻 = 2√11.72 + 52 = 12.7 m

Height measurements using the LTI TruePulse Laser 200 rangefinder: Height can be estimated from through three (3) measurements (horizontal distance, followed by the inclination aiming to the upper point [merchantable or total height] respectively to the lower point [base] of the tree) using the LTI TruePulse Laser 200 rangefinder. For best results, the horizontal distance should be approximately equal to the height to be measured.
To measure height,, select the < HT > mode by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button until < HT > is displayed at the bottom of the viewfinder.
The < HD > indicator flashes, prompting to measure the horizontal distance to the tree. Look through the eyepiece and use the crosshair to aim to the tree along a clear line of sight, then press and hold the FIRE button. Release the FIRE button once the measured horizontal distance appears briefly.
The < Ang_1 > and the < Inc > indicators flash, prompting to measure the inclination to the upper point (merchantable or total height of the tree). Look through the eyepiece and use the crosshair to aim to the upper point, then press and hold the FIRE button. The measured inclination appears and is updated as long as the FIRE button is held. The measured inclination is locked once the FIRE button is released.
The < Ang_2 > and the < Inc > indicators flash, prompting to measure the inclination to lower point (base of the tree). Look through the eyepiece and use the crosshair to aim to the lower point, then press and hold the FIRE button. The measured inclination appears and is updated as long as the FIRE button is held. The measured inclination is locked once the FIRE button is released.
The measured height is displayed after the three measurements (horizontal distance, upper point, lower point).
