- 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.
