The Candidate Old Growth forest ecosystems layer was derived by integrating: structural maturity classes mapped from Aerial Photographic Interpretation (API) data; interpretability classes derived from vegetation mapping units; and disturbance history information derived from both API and Management History logging information.
Grid values are identical to the forest ecosystem values contained in the Lower North East (LNE) region forest ecosystems layer. Values are represented only for old growth forest ecosystems which are classified as forest and rainforest (non forest ecosystems are excluded).
