Idaho wetland condition ranking based on classification of finwetlandwt1 layer into 5 categories: 1 = minimally disturbed (top 1% of wetlands, values 0 – 141); wetlands with absence or near absence of human disturbances; zero to few stressors present; land use almost completely not human-created; equivalent to reference condition; conservation priority; 2 = lightly disturbed (2 - 5%, values 142 – 703); wetland deviates from the minimally disturbed class based on existing landscape impacts; few stressors present; majority of land use is not human-created; these are the best wetlands in areas where some human impacts are present; ecosystem processes and functions are within natural ranges of variation found in the reference condition, but threats exist; usually reference condition; conservation priority; 3 = moderately disturbed (6 - 15%, values 704 – 2,108); several stressors present; land use roughly split between human-created and non-human-created; ecosystem processes and functions are impaired and somewhat outside the range of variation found in the reference condition, but are still intact; ecosystem processes are restorable; sometimes the best remaining wetlands in watersheds with many human impacts; conservation and/or restoration priority; 4 = severely disturbed (16 - 40%, values 2,109 – 5,625); numerous stressors present; land use is majority human-created; ecosystem processes and functions are severely altered or disrupted and outside the range of variation found in the reference condition; ecosystem processes are restorable, but may require large investments of energy and money to succeed; potential restoration priority; 5 = completely disturbed (bottom 41 - 100%, values 5,626 – 14,055); many stressors present; land use is nearly completely human-created; ecosystem processes and functions are disrupted and outside the range of variation in the reference condition; ecosystem processes are very difficult or not feasible to restore.
