This screen may contain a variety of figures or tables of snags and down wood information not included in the cumulative species curves. This information includes wildlife use of height of snag or length of down wood, snag or down wood species, decay class, mortality condition, snag top condition, hollow snag or down wood. Please see the Ancillary Data Methods for details on each figure or table. Some tables and figures may need to be PRINTED IN LANDSCAPE

 

All underlying data for SNAGS

Table EMC.sp-15. Ancillary data for trees used by wildlife species or groups in Eastside Mixed Conifer Forest Wildlife Habitat Type. Snags in reviewed studies were re-classified for this work into one of three decay classes; hard, moderate, or soft, per Bull et al. (1997). Broken-top trees are indicated by "B", and trees with intact tops are indicated by "I". Species 1 is the tree species used most often by the wildlife species shown for that particular study. Species 2 is the tree species used next most often, etc. If selection data were available, then tree species 1 is the tree species most selected by the wildlife species, and so on for Species 2, 3, and 4.
