These include forests with overly high stand densities and where soil/site conditions contribute to drought. The basis for assigning risk is the expectation that 25% or more of live basal area (three times the natural background rate of mortality) will die over the next 15 years due to insects and diseases. </span></span><span><span>Because the NIDRM 2018 map is the most recent update, it has been reused each year for TCA Assessments from 2020-present.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-weight:bold;'><span>Format:</span></span><span><span> Raster data are binary: (1) at risk or (0) not at risk</span></span></p><p><span style='font-weight:bold;'><span>Resolution:</span></span><span><span> 240m</span></span></p><p><span style='font-weight:bold;'><span>Source: </span></span><a href='https://www.fs.usda.gov/science-technology/data-tools-products/fhp-mapping-reporting/national-insect-disease-risk-and-hazard-mapping' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>NIDRM 2018</span></span></a></p><p style='font-weight:bold;'><span><span>Additional Resources:</span></span></p><p><span><span>Details on </span></span><a href='https://usfs.box.com/s/79vx1b42xg8u6ivjombxjes36nzfhgml' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Method Changes and Source Data Versions</span></span></a></p><p><span><span>Overview of the Terrestrial Condition Assessment: </span></span><a href='https://terrestrial-condition-assessment-usfs.hub.arcgis.com/' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>TCA Hubsite</span></span></a><span><span> or </span></span><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf0P3cAq1rs&amp;list=PLwRbAc4x5n94rLca1CXXuugtRDt_G666M&amp;index=19' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Landfire Office Hour Presentation</span></span></a></p><p><span><span>Explore the results of the most recent assessment: </span></span><a href='https://apps.fs.usda.gov/gtac-toolsms/tca/' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>TCA Interactive Data Viewer</span></span></a></p><p><span><span>Learn more about the TCA KPI: </span></span><a href='https://cxodashboard.dl.usda.gov/t/NRE/views/EcologicalConditionOutcomes_17531128629260/EcologicalOutcomes' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>TCA Dashboard</span></span></a></p><p><span><span>*if you have trouble viewing the Dashboard, please submit a </span></span><a href='https://usdagcc.sharepoint.com/sites/fs-wo-cdoc/SitePages/Dashboards.aspx' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Tableau Viewer Access Request</span></span></a></p></div></div></div>
