Feature Correlations Force network
🌞 Sunlight drives the strongest correlations. Sun-9am and Sun-3pm have r = −0.78 (opposite sides of the hill). Aspect (compass direction) links to all three hillshade readings. Horizontal and vertical water distance correlate at r = 0.61.

Wilderness Area Networks Bipartite
🏔️ Rawah & Comanche Peak are the dominant areas (260K and 253K plots). Neota sits at the highest elevation and is almost entirely Spruce/Fir. Cache la Poudre is unique — the only area with Ponderosa Pine (58%) and Cottonwood/Willow, reflecting its lower elevation.

Soil Type Networks Bipartite · top 15 soils
🪨 Soil 29 is by far the most common (115K plots) and strongly supports Lodgepole Pine (62%). Soils 38–40 are subalpine/volcanic and almost exclusively host Spruce/Fir and Krummholz. Soil 10 (Bullwark-Catamount) is the most diverse — supporting four species.

Tree Species Profiles Habitat fingerprint
🔥 Ponderosa Pine and Cottonwood/Willow grow closest to historical fire ignition zones — avg 911 m and 859 m respectively, vs 2,168 m for Lodgepole Pine. This directly echoes the Forest Fires dataset: low-elevation, accessible terrain burns most.
