TABLE 2.

Raster cell deer habitat quality scores (unitless) based on distance between a raster cell belonging to one habitat group and the nearest patch of the other habitat group, adapted from Roseberry and Woolf (1998).

Proximity to ≥ 0.02 km2 patch of…	Distance (m)	Habitat quality score
Shelter/Food to Food	< 500	1
	501–700	0.8
	701+	0.6
Food to Shelter/Food	< 200	1
	200–275	0.8
	276–350	0.6
	351–425	0.4
	426–500	0.2
	500+	0

Note: “Shelter/food” is defined as land classes that provide both food and protect to deer, while “food” is defined as land classes that provide only food to deer. “Shelter/Food to Food” indicates distances from a raster cell classified as “shelter/food” to the nearest patch of food, and “Food to Shelter/Food” indicates distances from raster cells classified as “food” to the nearest patch of “shelter/food”.
