Habitat Modeling Sample Clauses

Habitat Modeling. Computer habitat modeling may be used to assist in harvest planning in HMAs. Initially, levels of critical and secondary deer winter habitat will be forecast. Models for other indicator and keystone species (which other species depend on for survival) may also be used as they become available. Until computer modeling is developed by ORGANIZATION NAME the current method of reviewing and approving timber harvest prescriptions within HMA’s will continue with the understanding that the levels of CDWH and SDWH in the entire HMA will be considered, not just within the area being prescribed for harvest.
