Fisher Stand Condition definition
Fisher Stand Condition means the type of stand being proposed for harvest in terms of fisher life history components:1. “Type 1 stands” are forest habitat types that support at least 75% of fishers’ use for a given Fisher life history component.2. “Type 2 stands” are forest habitat types that support up to 25% of fishers’ use for a given Fisher life history component.“Fisher Retention Targets” means the amount of area/structures that should be retained during forest development based on an overlay of a cutblock boundary with the fisher spatial data set. The retention targets for a cutblock vary according to the Habitat Zone, Landscape Conditions, and Stand Conditions for the cutblock.“Near Landscape Condition Target” means, based on the results of overlaying a cutblock boundary with the fisher spatial data set, that the density of Type 1 stands for the specified fisher life history component (e.g. denning or resting) within a typical female fisher home range centered on the cutblock, is reduced to near alevel that may not be sufficient to support fishers, as outlined in the users guide.
