This book was released on 1980 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter identifies all reasonable alternatives and objectively presents the project effects and environmental consequences of the Proposed Action and each alternative. The process by which alternative deployment areas and configurations were derived is presented first, followed by the projected construction and operation resource requirements for the Proposed Action and each alternative. The future conditions within the alternative deployment areas under no project, or no deployment decision at this time, are summarized for each key resource. The scoping process identified key resources in both natural and human environments. In response to the public and agency comments, each resource is evaluated for each alternative and appropriate mitigations are discussed. The analysis covers significant environmental characteristics that could be substantially affected by system deployment. The interdisciplinary analysis identifies potential mitigation conflicts. This detailed resource-by-resource analysis defines the issues and permits reviewers to evaluate the comparative merits of the Proposed Action and each alternative for each significantly affected resource. At the conclusion of the resource analysis for the Proposed Action, the available data, results of analyses performed, and scientific judgment were used to rank, where possible, each alternative relative to the resource under consideration.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, Nevada and Utah have one Congressionally Designated Wilderness area each, both administered by the USFS: Jarbidge in the Humboldt National Forest in northeastern Nevada, and Lone Peak in the Uinta and Wasatch National Forest of central Utah. These areas are located approximately 125 and 65 mi, respectively, from the nearest system feature and are not likely to be directly affected by the M-X project. Significant natural areas in the Nevada/Utah study area, identified by federal or state agencies as areas to be preserved for their unique ecological or geological characteristics, include 8 designated and 49 potential National Natural Landmarks, 13 National Wildlife Refuges or Wildlife Management Areas, 25 Research Natural Areas, and more than 30 other natural areas. One congressionally Designated Wilderness and one wilderness study area are located in the New Mexico portion of the Texas/New Mexico study area. These are the USFWS-managed Salt Creek Wilderness, within the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, and the BLM-designated Sabinosa Wilderness Study Area. As in Nevada and Utah, various federal and state agencies in Texas and New Mexico have identified unique, undisturbed ecosystems and sites of geologic interest to be managed and preserved for their natural qualities. These are collectively termed significant natural areas and, with the inclusion of the USFS-managed National Grasslands, fall into the same categories as previously discussed.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Nevada/Utah study area, the major vegetation types are arid shrublands, with grazing as the principal land use. Small scattered patches of riparian and marsh vegetation provide essential wildlife habitats. North-south trending valleys are separated by mountain ranges dominated by woodlands, brushlands, and sparse forests. Drainage channels from the mountains carry deposits which coalesce into broad alluvial fans (bajadas) that transport water from snowmelt and intermittent rainstorms to central washes and playas. Playas occur at the lowest areas in the valleys and are intermittently flooded. Agriculture is confined to valley bottoms and low bajadas where the principal crop is alfalfa hay used for supplemental livestock feeding. Nevada counties in the study area range from about 0.2 to 2 percent cropland; Utah counties in the study area have slightly more cropland, ranging from about 1 to 4 percent. In the Texas/New Mexico study area, irrigated croplands and heavily grazed rangelands predominate. The natural vegetation consists of mainly shrublands and several types of short grass prairie. Riparian vegetation and playa wetlands are important to wildlife. Most Texas counties in the study area are more than 50 percent cropland, whereas the New Mexico counties, except for Curry, have less than 30 percent cropland. Rangelands predominate in New Mexico counties (U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 1974b). The native vegetation in both study areas is an important resource.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildlife is threatened in two parts; threatened and endangered species (protected species), and other wildlife species. Threatened and endangered species are discussed in the Technical Report on Protected Species (ETR-17). This report focuses on 'other' wildlife species. The Nevada/Utah study area, with its alternating basins and high mountain ranges, contains an array of wildlife habitat types including forests, woodlands, and shrublands. Characteristic big game species include elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and pronghorn. Wild horses, introduced to the area by European man, are numerous in many of the valleys and compete for forage with domestic livestock and native species. Wetland habitats in some of the valleys are important stopover areas or breeding habitats for large numbers of migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. The Texas/New Mexico study area was historically a comparatively homogeneous wildlife type of shortgrass prairie spotted with playa lakes and sandhill areas and occasionally broken by the roughland of the few major river drainages in the area. Much of the Texas suitable area is now cropland which supports such game species as pheasant and bobwhite quail. Rangeland, which is intensively used for grazing, supports pronghorn. Both mule deer and white-tailed deer also occur in the area. The playa lakes are important habitat for migratory waterfowl along the Central Flyway. For this report, wildlife is broadly categorized into game and nongame animals.

This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
