I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Acceptable sample size (ie number of
plots required to achieve a required Standard Error) is not directly
related to the prism size. Ideally, you wouldn't choose a prism until you
saw the size and number of stems in a stand.

And as for ground area represented by a prism, I really don't understand
the question. The plot radius of each tree is a function of the BAF and
the tree's diameter.

So, I guess I'm no help, I just felt like babbling

Hello

I am doing a point-in-polygon GIS analysis and need to know what would be
the acceptable sample size (ground area) represented by a 10 BAF prism (10
ft2 per acre) at each point.
