Snags in the upper Midwest have a higher residual probability of falling that snags in the southeasten United States. Brad Oberle Kiona Ogle Amy E. Zanne Christopher W.

The bar at the right indicates the color scale denoting probability of snag persistence, with green colors representing slower than expected rates of snag fall after controlling for other drivers (predictor variables) that vary spatially, including tree species composition, stand density, physiographic class, and temperature.</p> 2018-05-09 17:33:45 forest C cycling wood decay forest C model wood decay controls snag fall snag-dependent wildlife habitat snag fall wood decay resistance
