Tables WLCH_WCO.fid-1 through fid-6. Forest insects and diseases affecting wildlife habitat (structure, sustainability, abundance) in Westside Lowland Conifer-Hardwood Forest, Washington Coast 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.
