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. For more information on this method check out the publication Monitoring White-tailed Deer and Their Impact on Indiana Woodlands, https://edustore.purdue.edu/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-640-W.
