1.1 This guide provides a list of criteria and indicators that have been shown to be useful in achieving the goals of a sustainable forest management plan. This guide lists a set of criteria considered to be important for the following tasks:
Criterion
Element
Indicator
1. Conservation of biological diversity
1.1 Ecosystem diversity
1.1a Area and percent of forest by forest ecosystem type, successional stage, age class, and forest ownership or tenure 1.1b Area and percent of forest in protected areas by forest ecosystem type and by age class or successional stage 1.1c Fragmentation of forests
1.2 Species diversity
1.2a Number of native forest associated species 1.2b Number and status of native forest associated species at risk, as determined by legislation or scientific assessment 1.2c Status of on site and off site efforts focused on conservation of species diversity
1.3 Genetic diversity
1.3a Number and geographic distribution of forest associated species at risk of losing genetic variation and locally adapted genotypes 1.3b Population levels of selected representative forest associated species to describe genetic diversity 1.3c Status of on site and off site efforts focused on conservation of genetic diversity
2. Maintenance of productive capacity of forest ecosystems
2.a Area and percent of forest land and net area of forest land available for wood production 2.b Total growing stock and annual increment of both merchantable and non-merchantable tree species in forests available for wood production 2.c Area, percent, and growing stock of plantations of native and exotic species 2.d Annual harvest of wood products by volume and as a percentage of net growth or sustained yield 2.e Annual harvest of non-wood forest products
3. Maintenance of forest ecosystem health and vitality
3.a Area and percent of forest affected by biotic processes and agents (for example, disease, insects, invasive species) beyond reference conditions 3.b Area and percent of forest affected by abiotic agents (for example, fire, storm, land clearance) beyond reference conditions
4. Conservation and maintenance of soil and water resources
4.1 Protective Function
4.1a Area and percent of forest whose designation or land management focus is the protection of soil or water resources
4.2 Soil
4.2a Proportion of forest management activities that meet best management practices or other relevant legislation to protect soil resources 4.2b Area and percent of forest land with significant soil degradation
4.3 Water
4.3a Proportion of forest management activities that meet best management practices, or other relevant legislation, to protect water related resources 4.3b Area and percent of water bodies, or stream length, in forest areas with significant change in physical, chemical, or biological properties from reference conditions
5. Maintenance of forest contribution to global carbon cycles
5.a Total forest ecosystem carbon pools and fluxes 5.b Total forest product carbon pools and fluxes 5.c Avoided fossil fuel carbon emissions by using forest bio
