This layer shows remnant old ecosystems in northwestern BC - old forest remaining where less than 10% of the total forested area within each ecosystem is mapped as old today. Old forest is defined as older than 250 years in ecosystems with rare stand-replacing disturbance and older than 140 years in more frequently disturbed ecosystems. The layer highlights BEC variants where less than 10% of the forest is old, and where geographic areas within these ecosystems (described by landscape units) have less than 10% old forest. This layer was produced by the Old Growth Technical Advisory Panel and further details on the methodology and links to full datasets may be found on the Skeena Salmon Data Centre.
