Snag distributions in relation to human access in ponderosa pine forests by Jeff P. Hollenbeck, Lisa J. Bate, Victoria A. Saab, John F. Lehmkuhl

“…However, large‐snag (≥50 cm dbh) density was best predicted by road density, which suggested a decline, on average, of 0.7 large snags/ha for every km of road/km2. Most locations had relatively high densities of small‐diameter snags (<23 cm dbh) and diminishing density as diameter class increased. …”
