Layer: Late Seral Stage normalized (ID: 7)

Parent Layer: Composition

Name: Late Seral Stage normalized

Display Field:

Type: Raster Layer

Geometry Type: null

Description: The seral stages are categories that represent the developmental progression of forest ecosystems from initial establishment or following a stand replacing event (e.g., high severity fire) to a forest dominated by trees in the upper age classes for a given forest type. Late seral forests are also often characterized by multiple ages of forest trees and dead and dying trees in some form of equilibrium. Seral conditions across landscapes were highly variable prior to major European settlement in the western US. These patterns were highly attuned to dominant disturbance regimes and the multi-scaled variability in environmental conditions across topographic and climatic gradients. These patterns helped to reinforce fire regimes dominated by low- to moderate-severity fire across much of the region and provided for multiple habitat requirements for a wide variety of species.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values-------- - Early seral stage conditions are a proportion (0 - 1) of the entire HUC12. The normalized early seral stage values are rescaled based on the full range of potential values, with -1 representing high values and 1 representing low values. This interpretation reflects concerns over conversion of large areas of mature forest to early forest, with lower values considered more favorable.--------Late seral stage conditions are a proportion (0 - 1) of the entire HUC12. The normalized late seral stage values are rescaled based on the full range of potential values, with -1 representing low values, and 1 representing high values. This interpretation reflects concerns over loss of late seral conditions, with higher values considered more favorable.----------------- Unit Of Measure: Integer, 1 to 3
