Density - Snags - 20" - 29.9"
The number of standing dead trees (snags) on the landscape is important to forest managers; high densities of standing dead trees are known to contribute to extreme fire events... -
Density - All Trees Per Acre >1" Dbh
Trees per acre (TPA) is a common forest structure measurement that provides a useful index of forest and habitat condition. Many other metrics can be derived from having... -
Density - Snags - 30" - 39.9"

Basal Area
Basal area (BA) is a common forest structure measurement that provides a useful index of forest and habitat condition. Basal area is the cross-sectional area of the bole of a... -
SDI: Proportion of Max - Zeide 1983
Stand density index (SDI) helps vegetation managers to identify levels of site utilization and competition to determine management scenarios to meet objectives and is often used... -

Stand density index (SDI) helps vegetation managers to identify levels of site utilization and competition to determine management scenarios to meet objectives and is often used... -
Canopy Layer Count
This layer represents the number of distinct vertical canopy layers of trees. Vertical layer count is a proxy for leaf area index, and maps canopy complexity. Since LANDFIRE... -
Density - Snags - 40" or Greater

Sierra Nevada - Large Tree Density - > 30" Dbh
Large trees are important to forest managers for multiple reasons: they have a greater likelihood of survival from fire; they are an important source of seed stock; they provide... -
Distribution of Redwood Structure Classes
Coast Redwoods grow in a band from the coast of central California to southern Oregon (thus these data are only in the Northern and Central California Regions). Compared to... -
