Monitoring Deer Impacts on Indiana Forests: Accessing Vegetation Impacts of Deer (AVID) Plots 

Assessing Vegetation Impacts from Deer (AVID) provides a protocol for monitoring woody or herbaceous indicator species over time. This project involves identifying, tagging, and measuring the height of certain indicator species within a plot. The plants in these plots are remeasured yearly to provide a gauge of deer impact. AVID provides an easy-to-use website (www.aviddeer.com) where data can be entered, viewed, and interpreted.
