use of census_status 2

[ValentineHerr]

I had been thinking that census_status 2 meant "in process" and that it was used to say a tree was not complete, e.g. awaiting mortality census.

My code is only looking at census_status 1 to check for mortality census error. But you all have been selecting "complete" even when the tree needs to be revisited for mortality. This means that mortality errors are showing up right now (e.g. missing crown position).

I see 3 solutions:

• We just ignore the mortality errors for now (but they look bad on the map :-))
• I turn them off (I'll need to remember to turn them on again)
• Census crew uses "problem" for those trees that need to be revisited (which may be helpful to see on the map, when the time of the mortality census comes)

Let me know what you prefer!

I think it's easiest to have the trees that need to be visited for the mortality census marked as incomplete on the ArcGIS map, as opposed to having to identify them from the GitHub error reports.

We did decide in the field to mark those that needed to be revisited for mortality as in process, so hopefully that is only an issue in the first one or two plots? We'll be more careful about leaving them as in process in the future!

Great! thanks!
