The GRS Densitometer is a hand-held tool used to determine cover while implementing the line-point or line-intercept transect methods of vegetation/landscape feature cover estimation. GRS Densitometers are used around the globe for sampling vegetation cover and characteristics. It can also be used to assist in the sampling and measurement of above ground characteristics such as crown diameter, drip-line, intercept, crown density, and crown cover.
