Layer: BC Forest Size (ID: 6)

Name: BC Forest Size

Display Field: Descript

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Areas of forested cover mapped by size used to determine ecosystems services. Mapped data derived from National Land Cover Dataset (2019) for Berks County.Forests and understory areas are home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biological diversity. In terms of habitat, it is important to understand that the size, location, and types of woodland cover affect the value they provide. Forests that are larger than 750 acres provide the habitat required to sustain breeding populations of wildlife. A broadwinged hawk, for example, uses a breeding area of mostly forest (80%); and of that forest, half or more of it is core, which equates to around 750 total acres. 28 Areas over 500 acres are needed by migrating songbirds. Tolerance to forest fragmentation varies, and the amount of edge can affect a forest’s quality. For instance, forests less than 150 acres, or formed in long strips, are lower quality than forests 150 acres square.
