T1A - Substantial loss of western white pine as a major seral tree species.
R2A - Western white pine restored as a major seral tree species.
T2A - Significant loss of susceptible tee species at a site due to Armillaria root rot and conversion of the forest to a shrubland.
R3A - Conversion of the Armillaria root rot induced shrubland to forest, generally of less susceptible seral tree species and eventually to climax tree species.

Communities 1 and 5 (additional pathways)

1.1A - Fire and post fire recovery
1.2A - Aging and density increase in stand due to the process of forest in the absence of fire.
1.3A - Maturing of the forest stand in the absence of fire or disturbance.
1.3B - The mature stand dynamics with the absence of fire and aging stand opening processes.
1.4A - Fire, controlled or wild, or other stand renewing practices that spark a renewal of early seral trees.
1.5A - Fire, controlled or wild, or other stand renewing practices that spark a renewal of early seral trees.
2.1A - This pathway represents a major, stand-replacement disturbance such as a high-intensity fire, large-scale wind event, or a large insect infestation.
2.2A - This pathway represents growth over time with no further significant disturbance. The areas of regeneration pass through the typical stand phases, namely: competitive exclusion, maturation, understory reinitiating.
2.3B - This pathway represents a major, stand-replacement disturbance such as a high-intensity fire, large-scale wind event or a large insect infestation.
2.3A - This pathway represents continued growth over time with no further major disturbance.
2.4B - This pathway represents a major, stand-replacement disturbance, such as a large insect outbreak, or major fire event which leads to the stand initiation phase of forest development.
2.4A - This pathway represents continued growth over time with no further major disturbance.
2.5A - This pathway represents no further major disturbance. Continued growth over time, as well as ongoing mortality, leads to continued vertical diversification.
2.5B - This pathway represents a major stand-replacement fire disturbance leading to the stand initiation phase of forest development.
