Book excerpt: The purpose of this RMP amendment (RMPA) is to enhance cooperation with the States by modifying the approach to Greater Sage-Grouse management in existing RMPs to better align with individual state plans and/or conservation measures and Department of the Interior (DOI) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) policy. This document is considering amendments to ten BLM RMPs in Wyoming. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes and analyzes two alternatives as well as the Proposed RMP Amendment for managing Greater Sage-Grouse habitat on approximately 18 million acres of BLM-administered surface estate and 40 million acres of BLM subsurface federal mineral estate.

From the probing analyses of sage-grouse biology, one gains a broader understanding the ecology and conservation imperatives of sagebrush habitats throughout the West."—John A. Wiens, Chief Conservation Science Officer, PRBO Conservation Science "The threats facing Sage-grouse and the sagebrush habitats of the West are as vast as the landscape itself. Anyone’s foray into confronting this monumental conservation challenge should begin in the pages of this book.”-Ben Deeble, Sagebrush-Steppe Project Leader

Scott Gamo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing demand for energy has led to expanded extraction of energy reserves, which, in turn, impact habitats and populations of iconic western species including greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn ( Antilocapra americana) across the West. Policy makers and managers have implemented protections and regulations within designated landscapes to manage focal wildlife species under these conditions. My study evaluates the conservation effectiveness of these landscapes on these focal species in Wyoming within Core Areas established under the Wyoming Governor’s Sage-grouse Executive Order (SGEO), implemented in 2008 by then Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal. Greater sage-grouse populations have declined across their range due to human-assisted factors driving large-scale habitat change. In response, the state of Wyoming implemented the SGEO protection policy in 2008 as a voluntary regulatory mechanism to minimize anthropogenic disturbance withing defined sage-grouse core population areas. This dissertation consists of two empirical-based chapters that focus on evaluating the effectiveness of sage-grouse core areas in providing conservation of sage-grouse, and mule deer, which share habitat with sage-grouse across Wyoming. An additional focus of this dissertation was to investigate the impact of oil and gas development on harvest success for mule deer and pronghorn.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wyoming Greater Sage-Grouse Proposed Land Use Plan (LUP) Amendments and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service) with input from 26 cooperating agencies. This document is considering amendments to six BLM and three Forest Service LUPs to address the management of Greater Sage-Grouse habitat in Wyoming. The final EIS describes and analyzes five alternatives for managing Greater Sage-Grouse habitat on approximately 16 million acres of BLM-administered and National Forest System lands and approximately 23 million acres of BLM-administered subsurface federal mineral estate ... The Proposed LUP Amendments incorporates the guidance from the Washington Office Instruction Memorandum No. 2012-044 (12/27/2011) BLM National Greater Sage-Grouse Land Use Planning Strategy (WO IM No. 2012-044), the Wyoming Governor's Executive Order 2011-5 (WY EO 2011-5), and additional management based on the NTT [Sage-Grouse National Technical Team] recommendations ... Major planning issues addressed include energy and minerals, lands and realty (including rights-of-way), wildfire, vegetation management (including invasive species and conifer encroachment), livestock, grazing, recreation, travel management, and socioeconomics.

Download or read book Identifying Habitat Quality and Population Response of Greater Sage grouse to Treated Wyoming Big Sagebrush Habitats written by Kurt T. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prioritizing and conserving habitat quality is crucial for maintaining viable wildlife populations, particularly for species of conservation concern such as the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Sage-grouse have experienced widespread population declines across much of their historic range, necessitating an understanding of how to maintain or improve the quality of remaining habitats that support their populations. Habitat loss and fragmentation is a major factor contributing to sage-grouse population declines and maintaining or improving remaining habitats has been thought to increase the value of important habitats for sage-grouse. The aim of my dissertation was to evaluate the influence of habitat management practices on sage-grouse at the population level and then explore potential mechanisms that may explain how populations are influenced by management to develop an understanding of the overall demographic response of sage-grouse to habitat treatments in big sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) communities in Wyoming. My dissertation is presented in four journal-formatted chapters. The objectives of Chapter 2 were to identify how treatments influenced annual growth rates in sage-grouse populations using yearly male sage-grouse lek counts within Sage-Grouse Management Zone II in Wyoming’s Core Areas from 1994 to 2012. One of the major findings of Chapter 2 was that mechanical sagebrush restoration treatments within 10 km of leks were negatively associated with annual greater sage-grouse population growth rates. This chapter is formatted for Restoration Ecology with co-author Jeffrey L. Beck. The primary objective of Chapter 3 was to evaluate how microhabitat use differed between reproductive states (brood-rearing versus broodless females) and if there were differences in summer survival between these states. Findings suggested that broodless females were roosting and foraging in concealed habitats with greater visual obstruction but less food forb availability. In contrast, brood-rearing females likely selected riskier microhabitats with less shrub cover and greater herbaceous understory as a tradeoff to predictably maximize foraging opportunities and promote growth and survival of their chicks. Chapter 3 is in revision in Wildlife Research with co-authors Jeffrey L. Beck and Christopher P. Kirol. The objective of Chapter 4 was to identify how mowing and tebuthiuron (Spike® 20P, Dow Agrosciences, Indianapolis, IN) treatments intended to reduce sagebrush canopy cover influenced the dietary quality of Wyoming big sagebrush in central Wyoming. Results from this chapter suggested that mowing and tebuthiuron treatments may slightly increase crude protein concentrations directly after treatments without immediate changes in plant secondary metabolites. This chapter is formatted for submission to Rangeland Ecology and Management. Chapter 5 evaluated whether diet availability and dietary consumption were predictive of sage-grouse chick body condition and if mowing and tebuthiuron treatments influenced the availability of insect and forb dietary resources for juvenile sage-grouse. Findings from this chapter suggest that females with broods selected habitats with diet resources in proportion to their availability, and dietary consumption by chicks was unrelated to available foods at brood-rearing locations. Chicks that consumed proportionally more plants during their first week of life tended to weigh more and have longer wing chords 5 weeks after hatch. Treated big sagebrush habitats contained forb and insect abundances that did not differ from untreated habitats and were equal to or less than habitats used by brood-rearing females. Chapter 5 is formatted for Journal of Wildlife Management with co-authors Jeffrey L. Beck, Aaron C. Pratt, and Jason R. LeVan.
