<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV STYLE="font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) database. WIT is an activity tracking system that records, tracks, and monitors activities associated with watershed and aquatic ecosystem health and function (WIT). The database was queried to produce the following two layers: 1) completed actions promoting ecosystem resilience excluding harvest and silviculture activities (2001-2021); and 2) harvest and silviculture activities (2001-2021). Ecosystem resilience actions are defined as activities that support the ability of an ecosystem to return to a previous condition following a disturbance from climate change and/or other stressors. These could include restoring native biodiversity, allowing for larger flows, stream restoration, removing barriers to migration, creating refugia, and restoring natural disturbance regimes (e.g., through prescribed fire. Harvest and silviculture activities were identified in consultation with subject matter experts on each category of WIT codes. The following activities were included in this category: Aspen Restoration','Harvest','Inter-planting','InvasiveSpeciesMgmt-TerPlant','Midstory Removal','Native Plant Restoration','Native Plant Treatment','Overstory Removal','Planting','Pruning','Revegetation','Seeding','Site Preparation','Stand Clearcut','Thinning','Thinning - Commercial','Thinning - Pre-commercial','Tree Release'</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Spatial Extent: NFS system-wide</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Units: Categories of ecosystem resilience activities</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
