creation_method The authors calculated and mapped habitat values using Maxent, environmental variables and detection points across portions of California, Oregon and Washington. They created a prediction of relative habitat suitability, and these values were converted to 0 in areas of recent clearcuts and high severity fire. They then smoothed the values by averaging them over a moving window that approximates the species' home range size. Layer was then clipped to the CLPM statewide boundary, retaining the 90 meter resolution. NA (null) values within the Northern California and Sierra Nevada regions are areas not covered by the model.
