Desired Conditions Forest structure and function across old forest emphasis areas generally resemble pre-settlement conditions. High levels of horizontal and vertical diversity exist at the landscape-scale (roughly 10,000 acres). Stands are composed of roughly even-aged vegetation groups, varying in size, species composition, and structure. Individual vegetation groups range from less than 0.5 to more than 5 acres in size. Tree sizes range from seedlings to very large diameter trees. Species composition varies by elevation, site productivity, and related environmental factors. Multi-tiered canopies, particularly in older forests, provide vertical heterogeneity. Dead trees, both standing and fallen, meet habitat needs of old-forest-associated species. Where possible, areas treated to reduce fuel levels also provide for the successful establishment of early seral stage vegetation.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">This data was developed by the USDA Forest Service for use in the Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment Environmental Impact Statement.

Fites, Ecologist, Sierra Nevada Framework ID Team) Old Forest Emphasis Areas Alternative Mod8 The final Old Forest Emphasis Areas used in the preferred alternative -Mod8 is a hybrid of Alternative 6 and 8 old forest emphasis areas. For the westside of the Sierras Alternative 8 'old forest emphasis areas' was used and for the eastside of the Sierras - Alternative 6 'old forest emphasis areas' was used. This hybrid evolved due to the old forest emphasis areas being seen as a necessary component of the California Spotted Owl strategy. The larger allocation delineated by Alternative 8 was seen as essential to that strategy and the westside of the Sierras encompassed the majority of California Spotted Owl activity centers (see the Spotted Owl activity centers cover - Gould 1999). On the eastside of the Sierras the Alternative 6 old forest emphasis areas was sufficient. See the SNFP eastside/westside coverage for exact delineation and method for determining this line. An extensive discussion on the derivation of old forest emphasis areas for all alternatives follows. Excerpt from SNFP FEIS, Appendix B 3.3.1. Old Forest Emphasis Areas Rational for Old Forest Delineation Approaches While the rationale for old forest emphasis areas (Franklin et al. 1997) in the Sierra Nevada and reserves for biodiversity or old forest in general (e.g. Barrett and Barrett 1997, Simberloff 1997-in Pickette et al., Noss and Cooperrider 1994)have been documented, emphasis has been placed on delineation of rare or concentrations of desired entities (i.e. species, communities or ecosystems) in large enough areas that they provide functional landscape units that allow for ecosystem processes including for example fire or metapopulation interactions, and connectivity at the broader scales for genetic diversity and response to climate change. For the alternatives presented in this EIS, the range of old forest allocations ranged from none at all (alternative 7) to varied proportions of the landscapes (15-&gt;70%, see explanations for varied levels in Chapter 2). The range of proportion in old forest allocations reflects both different scientific perspectives (see Chapter 2) as well as intent to provide an array of levels to provide comparison of consequences. Objectives The approach used was the same for all of the alternatives with old forest. The overall objectives were to: (a) encompass areas with the greatest existing concentrations of old forest (Franklin et al. 1997) at the landscape level, and (b) delineate blocks large enough to allow for wide-scale ecosystem processes to occur (Franklin et al. 1997, Barrett and Barrett 1997, Murphy and Noon 1992). For alternative 4 the objective was only to delineate the best remaining old forest areas. For alternatives 3 and 6, the objectives included: encompassing the best remaining landscape concentrations, provide for larger enough blocks to remain functional following a large wildfire and provide for some of the subpopulations of owls and forest carnivores. For alternatives 5, 8 and the preferred, the objectives were the same as for alternatives 3 and 6 but with the additional objective of providing sufficient area for most subpopulations of owls and forest carnivores. To meet these objectives, a variety of sources of information on old forest and old forest species locations or habitat elements were used in a nearest-neighbor modeling approach in ARC-INFO software. A moving window the size of an American marten home range was used to represent the broad patterns of old forest important for wide-ranging species. The primary source of spatial information on old forest for the Sierra Nevada is the SNEP LSOG layer (Franklin and Fites-Kaufman 1997). The uncertainties associated with this layer are discussed in Chapter 3. While this layer is coarse-scaled, focusing on landscape mosaics of patches, this scale meets the objectives outline above for identifying landscape-scale concentrations of old forest and large blocks for large home range species subpopulation areas. This information was used differently depending upon whether the location was westside or eastside areas. Additional sources of information were for old forest or related allocations from previous design efforts (i.e. SNEP ALSE's, aquatic diversity areas and critical refuges, and QLG off-base and deferred areas). Species locations were also used where old forest was particularly lacking and the species provided a focal point for old forest restoration areas or where the species is of high concern. Delineating westside from eastside A line dividing eastside and westside for the entire EIS analysis area was constructed to divide the analysis area. For most of the area, the crest of the Sierra Nevada, identified by CALWATER watershed lines provides the boundary. For the northern part of the Plumas and southern portion of the Lassen National Forests, there is no distinct crest, and a previous delineation of westside and transitional ecosystems separated for eastside ecosystems based upon precipitation (&lt;35" average annual, Daly et al. 1991) and shifts in plant communities (Fites et al. 199x) was used. Initially, the Sequoia National Forest was modeled as entirely western, but later a separating line was placed down the Kern River Canyon and to the north based upon shifts in precipitation. Assumptions about the amount of area to include in the old-forest emphasis areas varied depending upon the approach. The first was based upon existing delineations from available map sources (for example, SNEP LSOG rank 4 and 5 polygons). The second was based upon a moving window analysis in GIS (for example, buffer around Goshawk nest locations) or combination of existing layers (focal-sum moving window around combined GRID layers of SNEP old forest patch data, and wilderness areas). For the approach using existing, available delineations, the amount of area was fixed, based upon what those map sources included. For the second approach, an iterative process enables an almost continuous array of area encompassed in old-forest emphasis areas or reserves. For some of the alternatives, old-forest emphasis areas or reserves are included. A summary of the method of delineation and proportion of the landscape that was used to model each alternative is shown in the table below. Table B.1. Old Forest Emphasis Areas delineation methodology by Alternative Alternative Old Forest Area Delineation Method of old forest Proportion of Delineation Approach emphasis area or reserves Landscape 1 Reserve Existing layers 6.0% (SNEP rank 4 and 5) 2 Reserve GRID modeling 68.2% 3 Emphasis Area GRID modeling: + series 27.6% normalized rank 4 &amp; 5 + selected Eldorado ALSEs 4 Temporary Emphasis Existing layers (SNEP polygons 13.9% Area until landscape with highest pct of desired conditions patches with &gt; 6 trees/acre) for old forest are met 5 Emphasis Area GRID modeling + series 40.2% Reserve normalized rank 4 &amp; 5 + Forest Carnivore Emphasis areas 6 Emphasis Area GRID modeling &amp; + series normalized rank 4 &amp; 5 + selected Eldorado ALSEs 27.6% 7 None applied No old forest emphasis areas 0% 8 Emphasis Area GRID modeling Alt6+ Forest Carnivore Emphasis Areas 41.3% Westside Modeling On the westside, the 2 primary sources of information, accounting for 2/3 of the total weighted layer, were from the SNEP old forest layer. The first was of the concentration of patches with &gt;2 large trees per acre. While most definitions of old forest incorporate large tree densities that are at least double this density (Beardsley et al. 1999), the distribution of these patches with higher densities of large trees is very limited (see Chapter 3). Therefore, the next lowest level of large tree densities characterized in the data set was used in order to pick up large enough areas for allowance of processes and subpopulations. An analysis of the SNEP old forest data with telemetried home ranges of fisher on the Sequoia National Forests (Fites, unpublished data) was used to select the second heavily weighted layer. This patch type encompasses mature forests with at least moderate canopy cover (&gt;40%) and scattered large trees (&gt;0.5/acre). This patch type includes elements for foraging and nesting or denning for both the fisher (Truex and Zielinski 1998) and California spotted owl (Guiterrez et al. 1992). Additional pixel scale spatial data on location of old forests was included from the Sierra Biodiversity Institute Old-Growth layer. Information on the accuracy of this data is lacking but a good proportion of the locations corresponded with higher rank SNEP LSOG polygons (Davis et al. 1996). The weighting was limited to 6.7% because of the uncertainty of the data, the older date of data and the focus on fine spatial scale. The SNEP ALSE layer was incorporated because the objective of the layer was to include all of the areas of highest landscape concentration of old forest in the Sierra Nevada (Franklin and Fites-Kaufman 1996). Fisher detection locations in the southern Sierra Nevada were included because this species is apparently very restricted geographically, and it is important that the old forest system incorporate this species. The QLG offbase and deferred areas were incorporated for two reasons. First, these areas represent another source of information on landscape concentrations of old forests and less disturbed areas, and second they represent an important allocation in the HF/QLG EIS decision. Finally, integration of the aquatic strategy was accomplished by including the aquatic diversity areas and critical refuge locations. The following layers were combined and weighted as follows: Table B.2. Old Forest Emphasis Areas Westside Modeling Layers Information Source Relative Weight Rationale for Inclusion SNEP old forest layer; area in patches with &gt; 2 large trees1/acre 33% Old forest locations at landscape scale SNEP old forest layer; area in patches with &gt; 0.5 large trees/acre and &gt;40% canopy cover 33% Integrate forest carnivores; Forest carnivore foraging or better habitat at landscape scale Fisher detection locations with variable buffered area 6.7% Integrate forest carnivores SNEP Area of Late Successional Emphasis 6.7% Old forest locations at landscape scale; represent large blocks of highest quality Sierra Biodiversity Institute Old-Growth Layer 6.7% Old forest locations at patch scale Aquatic Diversity Areas and Critical Refuges 6.7% Integrate Aquatic/Riparian QLG offbase &amp; deferred areas 6.7% Integrate with Herger- Feinstein/QLG EIS; important biodiversity areas at landscape scale Large trees vary by forest type and site class, as described in Franklin and Fites-Kaufman 1996. The assignment of values to each layer were as follows: 1. SNEP LSOG large tree layer with values: 0-9% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 0 10-24% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 1 25-49% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 2 50-74% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 3 75-100% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 4 2. Fisher patch rank from SNEP LSOG data with values: &lt;1% polygon in patches with &gt;40% canopy &amp; &gt;0.5 large trees/acre=0 1-9% polygon in patches with &gt;40% canopy &amp; &gt;0.5 large trees/acre=1 10-34% polygon in patches with &gt;40% canopy &amp; &gt;0.5 large trees/acre=2 35-64% polygon in patches with &gt;40% canopy &amp; &gt;0.5 large trees/acre=3 &gt;65% polygon in patches with &gt;40% canopy &amp; &gt;0.5 large trees/acre=4 3. Fisher locations with variable buffered area (from Truex and Zielinski) Value = 1 if in buffer, 0 if not 4. SNEP ALSE coded 1 if in and 0 if not. 5. Sierra Biodiversity Institute Old-Growth layer: coded 1 if in and 0 if not. 6. Aquatic Diversity Areas and Critical Refuges: coded 1 if in and 0 if not. 7. Quincy Library Group deferred and off-base areas: coded 1 if in and 0 if not. These layers were combined and the values summed to develop a combined grid with a possible maximum value of 15 in each cell. A FOCALSUM moving window was then applied to the combined 1 ha GRID layer with a circular window of 2,000 acres (810 ha). This process sums the values of all of the surrounding grid cells within the window and assigns the sum to the central cell. The window moves progressively across the area until each cell has a value representing the sum of values of adjacent cells. The NATURAL BREAKS function (a statistical approach utilized by ARC-INFO) was used to classify the resulting layer into 10 classes. The intent was to use the resulting layer to objectively delineate areas that would encompass different proportions of the landscape to model a range of alternatives. A trial and error process was used to obtain target proportions (percent of total landscape) of the landscape on public lands in each National Forest or National Park. The target proportions and threshold values for the reclassed FOCALSUM layer appear in a table at the end of the next section. Eastside Modeling The same source information was not used because conditions differ in the eastside forests. The primary difference is that old forest structure is the most rare and fragmented in the eastside of the Sierra Nevada (Frankin and Fites-Kaufman 1997). Therefore, equal weighting was placed on current and historic old forest species locations to provide the most important areas to restore landscape concentrations of old forest. Forty-percent of the weight was placed on current locations of goshawks and historic locations of forest carnivores. It should be noted that the forest carnivores represented in the layer used likely include a high proportion of pine martens. Forty percent of the weight was placed on two layers incorporating the SNEP LSOG data. First, areas with at least some patches of trees &gt;2 large trees/acre were included. Second, the ALSE system from SNEP was used. This layer identifies few polygons on the eastside but the few that are included represent remaining areas of higher levels of old forest. Finally, wilderness areas were included since on the eastside they represent the major existing allocation where forests are likely in less disturbed condition. The following layers were combined and weighted as follows: Table B.3. Old Forest Emphasis Areas Eastside Modeling Layers Information Source Relative Weight Rationale for Inclusion SNEP old forest layer; &gt;5% area of patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre 20% Old forest locations at landscape scale Goshawk locations - with 200 acre buffer 20% Integrate goshawk habitat and utilize goshawks as indicators of old forest Fisher locations from California Natural Diversity Database (historic) 20% Integrate forest carnivores; select areas of previous habitat as important for restoration SNEP Area of Late Successional Emphasis 20% Old forest locations at landscape scale; represent large blocks of highest quality Wilderness Areas 20% Integrate areas less likely to have been previously harvested 1. SNEP LSOG large tree layer with values: &gt;5% polygon in patches with &gt; 2 large trees/acre = 1 2. Goshawk locations with 200 acre buffer = 1 3. Fisher locations from NDBB (historic). Value = 1 if in buffer, 0 if not 4. SNEP ALSE: coded 1 if in and 0 if not. 5. Wilderness areas: 1 if in, 0 if not A FOCALSUM moving window was applied to the combined 1 ha GRID layer with a circular window of 10,000 acres. A larger moving window was used on the eastside because patches of old forest are more scattered. As with the westside modeling, the NATURAL BREAKS (see Arc-Info documentation - a statistical approach) function was used to classify the resulting layer into 10 classes. The intent was to use the resulting layer to objectively delineate areas that would encompass different proportions of the landscape to model a range of alternatives. Additional Modifications to Old Forest Delineations for Alternatives 3, 6, 5, and 8 For some of the alternatives, additional modifications to the objective delineations were completed as described below. Alternatives 3 &amp; 6 Series normalized rank 4 and 5 polygons from the SNEP LSOG layer were added where they were not included in the focal sum reclassed layer to ensure that the criteria of encompassing the best remaining landscape concentrations of old forest was accomplished. On the Eldorado National Forest, in the northern portion on the Georgetown District, some individual Areas of Late Successional Emphasis polygons from SNEP were added because of large distances between surrounding areas. Alternative 5 A separate analysis of landscape patterns of forest carnivore habitat was developed for the EIS. This is described in more detail in the following section. The forest carnivore emphasis area layer was combined with the old forest emphasis layer to ensure that all landscape concentrations of highest quality forest carnivore habitat were incorporated into the old forest emphasis area system. Alternative 8 A separate analysis of landscape patterns of forest carnivore habitat was developed for the EIS. This is described in more detail in the following section. For alternative 8, the forest carnivore emphasis area layer was combined with the old forest emphasis layer from alternative 6 to produce an old forest allocation that encompassed a larger proportion of forest carnivore habitat. Polygons within the NWFP owl range were erased on Oct 2, 2001 (NCA).
