Gentry transects were established to monitor the vegetation abundance, cover and structure of the mid-stratum and subordinate stratum of the core 1 ha plot in the Robson Creek Raibnforest site in 2012.

Lineage
Gentry surveys were conducted using the methodology outline in theTERN vegetation monitoring protocols.
Mid-Stratum Gentry survey
Along 6 x 50 m Gentry transects, diameter at breast height (DBH), vegetative height and crown length and width were recorded for all stems >10cm DBH.
Sub-Stratum Gentry survey
The sub-strata was surveyed along 6 x 50 m Gentry transects. The dominant grass, herb and woody species were recorded. The height of plants in the sub-strata were recorded, along with the percentage cover of dominant species and entire group for the grass, herb and woody species separately.
