!! Event Monitor Program to calculate Spruce Beetle Risk Rating, based upon Schmid and Frye 1976 !! (Stand Ratings for Spruce Beetles. RMF&RES, USDA FS, Research Note RM309) !! !! Physiographic location is one of the risk rating system's criteria. This location information is !! not available in the Event Monitor. Thus, users need to identify these stands and then place !! them into their own "groups" in FVS/Suppose and attach the appropriate Event Monitor addfile to !! the appropriate groups. !! !! This Event Monitor application is for use with creek bottom stands. !! A separate Event Monitor addfile should be used for non-creek bottom stands. !! !! The system: !! !! RISK FACTOR !! VALUE PHYSIOGRAPHIC LOCATION DBH(of trees>10") STAND BA %SPRUCE !! 3 Creek bottoms >16" >150 >65% !! 2 SI(100)>= 80 >12-16" >100-150 >50-65% !! 1 SI(100) < 80 10-12" <=100 <=50% !! !! Total risk is then determined by summing the risk factor values for the 4 criteria. !! !! Note: SI in table above is on 100-year basis. !! Note: since this addfile is for use with creek bottom stands, site index is not used!! !! !! ************************************************************************************************ !! !!

Note: The Spruce Beetle Hazard Rating equals the sum of the 4 component rating factors: !! (SBF1, SBF2, SBF3, SBF4), ** UNLESS ** : (1) there is no spruce in the stand with a dbh >= 10" !! (in which case the rating will be "1"); or (2) less than 5% of stand BA is spruce, in which !! case the overall rating is zero. !! !! QMD_SP10 = QMD OF SPRUCE GREATER THAN (or =) 10" !! TOT_BA = TOTAL STAND BA !! PER_SPRC = PERCENT OF STND_BA THAT IS SPRUCE (of all trees >2.6"dbh) !! !! Note that some FVS variants (EM, KT, NI) recognize "S"-not "ES"-for Engelmann spruce; hence !! if you are using any of these variants, you will need to edit the SPMCDBH functions below! !! *************************************************************************************************** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
