Abstract This model combines stand density index (SDI), basal area loss, drought stress, and insect and disease surveys using an equal weight overlay. SDI determines the relative density of a stand, and was used in this model to identify where the density of small diameter trees is high. Basal area loss is defined as "the expectation that, without remediation, 25 percent or more of the standing live basal area of trees greater than 1 inch in diameter will die over the next 15 years (starting in 2005)." For the purposes of the New Mexico State Assessment, the basal area loss data layer represents areas of dense forest/woodlands with large diameter trees expected to experience mortality from insect and disease. SDI and basal area loss data layers were derived as a part of the 2006 National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM) and based on New Mexico's Forest Inventory Analysis Data from 1987-1999. Moisture stress depicts percent of normal precipitation for winter precipitation from 2006-2008 and was derived from PRISM precipitation data. Insect and disease outbreaks data was limited to past occurrence flyover data for western spruce budwrom and western tent catepillar and are based on USFS Forest Health Aerial Survey data from 1987-2008 .
Purpose This data layer identifies areas that make a forest area more susceptible to insect and disease outbreaks

Data Quality Information

Logical Consistency Report 1. Moisture Stress (1951-2006): The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico mapped recent trends using data from 1951-2006 in a combined temperature-precipitation variable, the climate water deficit. This variable indicates biological moisture stress, or drying of an area. The technical team noted that insect and disease susceptibility is driven primarily by drought stress from past 3 years and more particularly winter drought stress and decided that moisture stress trends would not be an effective indicator. (Enquist et al, 2008). 2. Insect & Disease Surveys: The aerial insect and disease survey data are a compilation of forest insect and disease activity of 942 agents mapped from aerial detection surveys in the state of New Mexico. The surveys have been occurring from 1987 to 2008. The intent of this layer is to map areas susceptible to future activity. Excepting western spruce budworm and western tent caterpillar, the polygon data was excluded from the model. 3. Forest Inventory Analysis Data: The forest inventory analysis data served as the basis for the NDIRM effort. Modeling of FIA data to represent stand density was not needed since it had already been completed as a part of the national effort. However, it was noted that updated FIA data is needed statewide.
Completeness Report The SDI max values were derived from FIA data for NM only. The larger stakeholder group noted that the values are lower than normally used for the relative percent calculations.
