Sampling frame: 9 x 15 km area about eight kilometres north of the Purnema-village.

Field methods: 0.5 hectare study plots (transects).

Selection of study plots: 20 points were randomized inside the study area. Of these nine (randomly selected) were studied. In addition five points closest to the base camp were studied. Study plots (transects) were stretched around the points.

Amount of data: 14 independent study plots, of which eight were old spruce-dominated forests, three young successional forests and three mires or bogs with only sparce tree cover. The sample plots included altogether 2540 dead trees, of which 1437 were more than 10 cm thick.

Time and duration of field work: June - July 1999, altogether about 11 days.
