  1. MOFEPCONCEPTUAL MODEL December 7, 2005

  2. Site History (Logging, Fire, etc.) Biotic Community (Flora and Fauna) Forest Structure & Composition Physical Environment Human Impacts

  3. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT SUB-MODEL Human Impacts (Management) Geology/ Parent material Forest structure& composition Flora (ground flora, fungi, lichen) Nutrients Topography Slope Aspect Elevation Soil Landform Decomposers Time Water Climate Temperature Wind Fauna (Birds, Mammals, Herps, Invertebrates) Air Light Rain

  4. BIOTIC COMMUNITY - FLORA SUB-MODEL Forest structure& composition Biomass Removal (Harvest) Overstory Habitat, Food & Cover for Fauna Understory Disturbance (Fire, Weather, Herbivores) Soil Allies Ground Flora Debris & Gas Flux Nutrients

  5. BIOTIC COMMUNITY - FAUNA SUB-MODEL Insectivores Forest structure& composition Parasites/ Disease Herbivores Carnivores Hunting/Trapping Pollinators/Dispersers Flora Decomposers Vegetation Climate Light effects Microclimate Topography Moisture Soils Disturbance Invasives Wintering grounds/Migration Natural Landscape context Man-made

  6. HUMAN IMPACT SUB-MODEL Public Values (Attitudes, Aesthetics, Rural/Urban, Different Cultures, Forests/Management/Fire, Tradional/Non-traditional Users, Education) Forest structure& composition Site History Demand (Timber, Recreation, Clean Air & Water, Management (Harvest/Impact, Silviculture, Exotics, Prescribed Fire, Fire Suppression, Grazing, etc.) Policy (MDC, External, Politics) Outside Influencers Economy Researcher Impact Population Growth Human-caused Climatic Change Human-Introduced Invasive Species Land Use (Fragmentation, Urbanization, Matrix Composition)
