Modelled Forest Age-Class Distribution of the Cranbrook Timber Supply Area under a Natural Disturbance Regime

An example of the spatial distribution of forest age-classes resulting from the SELES natural disturbance model for the Cranbrook Timber Supply Area (TSA) after a 350-year simulation.

Simulated Age Class Distribution of Cranbrook TSA under Natural Disturbance

Mean number of hectares and standard deviations by age-class from 10 350-year simulations of the SELES natural disturbance model for the Cranbrook TSA. On average, approximately 46% of the forested landbase is in age-classes 8 (141 - 250 yrs) and 9 (251+ yrs).

Results of 10 simulations of the natural disturbance model on the Cranbrook TSA
