Model External Validity. It is critical to understand that all models developed in this project are geared towards the specific datasets and vegetation characteristics captured in the Mashel watershed. The models will likely perform in similar forest stand types (e.g, Western Cascades), but performance is questionable in coastal forests of Washington state. Therefore, we do not recommend extrapolating these models beyond the Mashel watershed as the errors and uncertainties associated with such extrapolations cannot be accounted for.
