Insect and Disease Species List in -

Up to 6 tables occur on this screen; please use the scroll bar to view all tables. Hotlinks in the Common Name columns and in the Stem Decay table heading link to species description narratives. In the button bar at the top of the screen, the "I & D Info Page" button takes you to a page with links for all species descriptions in DecAID and web site links for further information. The "I & D Inventory Data" button takes you to tables displaying percentage of inventory plots with occurrence of root diseases, stem decays, and dwarf mistletoes.

Tables EMC_ECB.fid-1 through fid-6. Forest insects and diseases affecting wildlife habitat (structure, sustainability, abundance) in the Eastside Mixed Conifer, East Cascades/Blue Mtns. Vegetation Conditions. Functional roles are coded in the Structural Condition Class columns (Open Canopy, Small/Medium, Larger) as follows: B=Creates brooms; C=Creates concentrations of down wood; D=Causes stem decay that has significance for wildlife habitat; G=Creates canopy gaps; H=Creates hollow butt or stem; M=Potentially significant mortality agent with management implications; and T=Creates dead tops in trees > 50 cm (20 inches) dbh. An "*" superscript indicates that the preceeding function code is valid only for the remnant-tree component of the stand.
