These data were created for the purpose of assessing the status and trend of watershed conditions under the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) as described in Miller et al. (2016).
This geodatabase contains two data sets compiled to evaluate conditions for sixth-field watersheds (12-digit HUCs) in the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) area. The stream data consists of 2 feature classes, NwfpStreamReachScoresPanel1 (the first stream survey visit to a sample of sixth-field watersheds) and NwfpStreamReachScoresPanel2 (the second stream survey visit to a sample of sixth-field watersheds) .The upslope/riparian data consists of 1 feature class (NwfpUpslopeHucUnit) and 3 tables that can be linked to the feature class NwfpUpslopeHucUnitScores1994_tbl representing conditions in 1994 (the start of the NWFP), NwfpUpslopeHucUnitScores2013_tbl (year 20 of the NWFP), and NwfpUpslopeHucUnitScoresTrend_tbl (the difference between 2013 and 1994). These tables can be linked to the feature class with the Link_id field. A detailed description of the analysis can be found in Miller et al. (2016).
Northwest Forest Plan Interagency Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP)
These data were developed for broad scale regional monitoring purposes. Scores are derived from a variety of data inputs with varying levels of accuracy. Perhaps the most limiting factor are vegetation inputs from Landsat (30m) GNN image classification, which are recommended suitable for use at 6th field watershed scales or above. It is the responsibility of the user to use the data in an appropriate and consistent manner, recognizing its limitations as described in Miller et al. (2016).
