Protocols

Ethical and genetically sound seed collection protocol for Hawaiian native species. Emphasizes local provenance, population-level sampling, voucher documentation, and post-harvest handling. Supports downstream nursery and direct-seeding programs.

Standard protocol for quantifying fuel loads in Hawaiian dry forest restoration sites. Supports fire behavior modeling and prescribed burn planning.

Long-term permanent plot protocol for tracking restoration progress. Balances scientific rigor with practitioner workload.

Census protocol for tracking survival and growth of restoration outplantings. Designed for practitioner ease.

Standard protocol for tracking ungulate activity trends in fenced and unfenced restoration sites.

Standard protocol for small-scale germination trials comparing pretreatment methods. Supports nursery decision-making.

Sanitation protocol for work in areas with or adjacent to confirmed ROD infections. Prevents spread of Ceratocystis via tools, clothing, and vehicles.
