A Hierarchical Typology of Relevant Actor Classes DH note: Is the purpose of this table to tell us who we need to talk to to determine scores in cells of matrix under "Implementation Examples" example 1? It will be difficult to cross-walk some of the items listed under "Levels 4 & 5" to LU/LC classes for modeling purposes. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Levels 4 & 5, Examples Only Private Forestry Private industrial Weyerhauser, Willamette Private Nonindustrial Tribal entity Grande Ronde Agriculture – livestock Growers – large Cattle acreage, commercial, Sheep may also include CAFO Pork households Dairy Poultry Horse racing, breeding, boarding Agriculture – field and seed crops Hobbyists – small acreage, rural residential household Cattle Sheep Horses – Garry Stephenson’s work Camelids Poultry Growers – large acreage, commercial, may also include households Grass Hay & Grass Seed Row Crops Field Crops Grains Nursery Orchard & Berry Vineyard Garden Crops Fruits Organic Woodlot Christmas Trees Residential only Hobbyists – small acreage, rural residential household Rural residential Agriculture Business establishments Region Shopping Centers and Malls Rural Town Rural Household w/livestock Rural Household w/o livestock Tribal entity livestock field crops Page 3 Urban/ suburban Public Non-governmental Organizations nursery christmas trees small fruits apartment residential commercial/industrial Business and Commerce Environmental Groups FarmForestry Labor Governmental Watershed Public Interest Recreational Property Rights Groups Governmental Organizations Youth Public Interest Groups Governmental Associations City County/Regional State Federal Associated Oregon Industries TNC Farm Bureau NW Forestry Association Association of Oregon Counties Long Tom Watershed Council Trout Unlimited Oregon Citizens Alliance Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts AOC, LCOG Eugene Lane, METRO, County Roads, County Health DEQ, ODA, ODFW, ODF, ODOT, EPA, BLM, DOT, USFWS, USFS Page 4 Appendix 2. Land Use/Land Cover Hierarchy Can tables 2 & 3 be matched to one another? DH note: It seems to me that, eventually, the landscape (and potential Policy) Generator will need to associate ACTORS (and the policies they respond to) with Level 3 LULC classes below so that new LULC patterns emerge from ACTIONS. Bolte: This is correct, although this doesn’t necessarily have to occur at Level 3 classes.

Scarcity Metrics and Key Project Outcome Variables. Outcome Variable Plant Communities composition ? richness number of species number of species evenness relative abundance of each species relative abundance of each species connectivity observation of forest cover? passage patterns of salmon? abundance Fish Assemblages CPU, very coarse exotic species native versus exotic: Typically, when not forested the vegetation is exotic. If trees grow, the vegetation becomes more natural. Do blackberries prevent growth of trees? native versus exotic: patch size measured from air photos diversity Shannon-Weaver Index Shannon-Weaver Index vulnerability, related to resilience? richness, relative abundance, native vs exotics richness, relative abundance, native vs exotics DH note: How do we equate these to "vulnerability"? DH note: How do we equate these to "vulnerability"? diversity - abundance diversity - abundance
