1 DETERMINING AVERAGE PACE LENGTHS FOR DIFFERENT TERRAINS Student’s Name Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA

2 To determine the usefulness of pacing as a measurement tool for conducting monitoring or inventory studies. OBJECTIVE:

3 LOCATION: Green Canyon, Cache County, Utah

4 MATERIALS & METHODS Four Terrains were identified, measured, and staked at 100 meters. Gravel Road (control) Sagebrush/Grassland Steep Slope Pinyon/Juniper Woodland

5 RESULTS:

7

8 DISCUSSION: Three terrains (road, sagebrush, and pinyon/juniper) had very similar pacing results The steep slope took several more steps to go up hill, and only a few more steps to go down hill Overall, steep slope averaged almost ten steps longer than the other terrains Flat terrain requires little pace adjustment while steep sloping terrain requires about a 10 percent increase in paces
