Abstract

This study evaluates the effects of thinning regimes designed to accelerate the development of late-successional forest structure for the benefit of salmon and other ESA-listed species. The focus is to ensure that proposed thinning activities (primarily by federal agencies such as BLM and USFS) do not delay the recovery of habitat important to these ESA-listed species. Currently thinning actions undertaken by BLM and USFS have resulted in the substantial delay in the recovery of instream habitat. The results from this study are intended to be provided to these agencies so that they can make management decisions consistent with the restoration and recovery of habitat important to ESA-listed species, in particular, instream habitat.

Data of DF forest reference stands.

Vegetation Simulation Cases (RESTful)

This is the cases of the stands and stand conditions used in the simulation, in this case 28 simulations. Format must be consistent with Forest Vegetation Simulator protocol. See https://www.fs.fed.us/fmsc/fvs/software/index.shtml for model manuals.
Vegetation Simulation Initial Stand Condition (RES

This is the initial stand conditions in this case 7 stand types. Format must be consistent with Forest Vegetation Simulator protocol. See https://www.fs.fed.us/fmsc/fvs/software/index.shtml for model manuals.
Vegetation Simulation Initial Tree Condition (REST

This is the initial condition of the trees found in the plots and stands. Format must be consistent with Forest Vegetation Simulator protocol. See https://www.fs.fed.us/fmsc/fvs/software/in
