Landscape-level range of sensitivity

Category Scientific Merit
Description The sensitivity of the indicator to all intensities of forest landscape-level management.

0  Unknown
1  Levels change in response to intensity of one silvicultural practice (clearcutting, shelterwood harvesting, group selection harvesting, or single tree selection harvesting)
2  Levels change in response to intensity of practices of even age harvesting or uneven age harvesting
3  Levels change in response to intensity of practices ranging from clearcutting to light selection harvesting
