Sierra Nevada (California, USA) Simulated Fisher Territory Occupancy - Baseline Fire Regime + No Treatment

May 13, 2010
Description:
This dataset shows simulated fisher territory occupancy for a study area the southern Sierra Nevada range from the Baseline Fire Regime plus No Treatment scenario (Scheller and others 2008). Simulations were conducted using the spatially dynamic population model PATCH coupled to the forest succession and disturbance model LANDIS-II. Fisher occupancy is represented as the average number of females per 860 hectare hexagon. Habitat quality was derived from LANDIS-II simulated vegetation dynamics and was used to drive spatially-explicit demographic dynamics in PATCH> The baseline fire regime is derived from the previous 20 years of fire data. The extreme fire regime is a purely hypothetical fire regime intended to produce larger, more severe fires that may occur as a result of climate change. Fuel treatments were applied to either 4 or 8% of the area in the treatable landscape every 5 years and were either low or moderate intensity thinning from below activities. For more information on the methods used to create this dataset, please refer to Scheller and others (2008) and Spencer and others (2008).
