<p>The surface is a bilinear interpolation over values estimated at the centers of 151 square (1.7° x 1.7°) grid cells. 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>
