WHWO_burned: Apply HSI model for WHWO in burned forest.
In qureshlatif/WoodpeckerHSI: Woodpecker habitat suitability models

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References

With required inputs, this model applies a habitat suitability model for nesting White-headed Woodpeckers in burned forests of the Inland Northwest (Latif et al. In Prep).

1	WHWO_burned(brn_1ha, brn_1km)

`brn_1ha`	numeric vector with length = number of observations/pixels. Values are mean percent (0-100) of 3x3 moving window neighborhood that is either severely burned (dNBR > 270) or open (pre-fire canopy cover < 10%).
`brn_1km`	numeric vector with length = number of observations/pixels. Values are mean percent (0-100) of a 1-km radius (~314 ha) moving window neighborhood that is either severely burned (dNBR > 270) or open (pre-fire canopy cover < 10%).

The model applied here is a Maxent model developed at two wildfire locations (Toolbox, 2002; Canyon Creek, 2015) and evaluated at these locations plus the Barry Point Fire (2012; Latif et al. In Prep).

`exponent`	This value is a linear function of inputs subsequently re-scaled to get various other outputs.
`hsi`	Maxent output rescaled to range 0-1 using a logit transformation. This is the output evaluated by Latif et al. (2015) and provided by ArcGIS application tools to inform forest planning.
`mx.raw`	Raw Maxent output recommended by Merow et al. (2013) and most closely related to local abundance or density.
