Example studies of determinants of land base changes involving forestland. — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: Table 1 lists examples of studies that have examined land base dynamics in the United States, where millions of acres of land shift uses each year (USDA NRCS 2001), reflecting billions of choices made by individuals, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and governments.

Diagnostic results for a sample of tree mortality locations randomly selected from photo-interpretation of satellite imagery of Ft. Hood, TX. — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: A sample of 119 polygons, or 10% of the total, was randomly selected for ground truthing. Oak wilt was found to be the cause of mortality in 82 (69%) of the centers. The major factor, other than oak wilt, delineated as dying or dead trees on the imagery was brush clearing operations (19.3%), where piles of dead trees resemble the crowns of dead, standing live oaks. With the exception of two cases, all of the brush piles consisted of Ashe juniper cut and stacked during land clearing operations. Relatively few other causes of mortality were found, including fire, wind damage and damage to trees caused by military operations. At eight of the sites visited, the trees identified as oaks were actually some other species, or, where the causes of mortality were not readily identified.
Species composition and average diameters of trees located in sample cluster plots for the 2003 - 2004 survey. — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: The highest stand densities were found at the nesting sites within GCW habitat (GCW/NS) with 1298 trees/ha. Stand densities were also relatively high in habitat where there was no oak wilt (GCW/non-OW = 883 trees/ha.). At oak wilt locations both within and outside of habitat, the stand densities were relatively lower. There were also notable trends in the species compositions among the various categories. Juniper composition was far lower outside of GCW habitat where oak wilt was present (13%) when compared to the plots located within habitat. Live oak density was greater in oak wilt locations, whether they were within (21%) or outside of habitat (33%) as compared to the uninfected plots within habitat (4%) or nesting sites (2%).
Juniper to oak ratios for each of the four sampling categories at Fort Hood. — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: The juniper to oak ratios (J:O) varied widely among the four sampling categories. The highest J:O ratio was 6.57:1 in the GCW habitat where there was no oak wilt. The lowest was 0.24:1 in oak wilt centers outside of GCW habitat.

Global criteria re-classifications to hazard rankings — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: To develop the Multi-Criteria susceptibility model for the globe, the unique numerical values from each criterion had to be standardized. Therefore, each dataset was re-classified using a hazard ranking of 0-10. The decision rules from both classification trees as well as additional expert knowledge were used as a guide in setting the hazard rankings.

Global Criteria and Arithmetic Weights — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: Since slope predicted most of the variability in the classification tree it was weighted at 50 %, aspect and the landform index were both weighted at 25 %.
Hazard: Global datasets used to assign hazard — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: Global datasets used to assign hazard.
Global Masks and Arithmetic Weights — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: To produce the final global susceptibility surface, areas that were identified in the global distribution as having a potential for a P. alni infestation were classified according to hazard. Biome and stream data were combined in an equal weighted overlay to assign a hazard ranking. The hazard ranking was based on each pixel's occurrence within ecological biomes similar to the biomes where P. alni presently occurs, as well as its proximity to streams.
Phytophthora alni susceptibility area for the globe. — by mhowell — last modified 2008-11-14 11:12 AM: Pixels within the selected biomes were assigned hazard rankings based on their proximity to streams. A set of three global stream buffers at distances of 1km were used to assign the hazard rankings. Pixels which had the potential for infestation were given a high hazard ranking if they fell within 1 km of the stream. Those pixels between 1 and 2 km were assigned a medium potential hazard, and pixels between 2 and 3 km from the stream were assigned a low potential hazard. Pixels that were found greater than 3 km from a stream or outside the selected biomes were given a hazard ranking of little or no potential hazard. The final global susceptibility surface had 27, 835, 766 square kilometers of suitable area where alder and P. alni could survive. Of that area 1, 482, 487 square kilometers (5.33 %) were highly susceptible to P. alni; 3, 930, 660 square kilometers (14.12 %) had a medium susceptibility; 5, 721, 467 square kilometers (20.55 %) had a low susceptibility; and 16, 701, 152 square kilometers (60.00 %) had little or no susceptibility .
