Book excerpt: Ecological Dynamics on Yellowstone's Northern Range discusses the complex management challenges in Yellowstone National Park. Controversy over the National Park Service's approach of "natural regulation" has heightened in recent years because of changes in vegetation and other ecosystem components in Yellowstone's northern range. Natural regulation minimizes human impacts, including management intervention by the National Park Service, on the park ecosystem. Many have attributed these changes to increased size of elk and other ungulate herds. This report examines the evidence that increased ungulate populations are responsible for the changes in vegetation and that the changes represent a major and serious change in the Yellowstone ecosystem. According to the authors, any human intervention to protect species such as the aspen and those that depend on them should be prudently localized rather than ecosystem-wide. An ecosystem-wide approach, such as reducing ungulate populations, could be more disruptive. The report concludes that although dramatic ecological change does not appear to be imminent, approaches to dealing with potential human-caused changes in the ecosystem, including those related to climate change, should be considered now. The need for research and public education is also compelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have continuously inhabited the Northern Yellowstone Range (hereafter referred to as the Northern Range1) inside and outside Yellowstone National Park (YNP) for at least 11,000 years.2-5 Across these many years, humans have actively used, abused, and conserved the natural resources of the Northern Range. Human actions helped shape the vegetation and wildlife present on the Northern Range from prehistoric times to present day. Many contemporary Americans have misunderstood the Northern Range, especially the portion inside YNP, to have been an untouched wilderness when YNP was created in 1872. However, the land and wildlife of the Northern Range have been actively and purposely affected by Native Americans for thousands of years. Euro-American expansion in the late 1800s displaced Native Americans from the Northern Range and limited their ability to continue predating wild ungulates and burning the forests and rangelands. Since 1872, land managers inside and outside YNP have discounted or misunderstood the ecological importance of Native American actions. Because Native Americans actively shaped their environment, and because their actions have been largely ignored, minimized, or eliminated during the past 146 years, the ecological health of the Northern Range today differs dramatically from the primeval Northern Range. In this paper, we explore the prehistoric and historical role of humans in the ecology of the Northern Range. We begin with a historical examination of Native American impacts to better understand how the ecosystem has changed through time and how minimizing the role of burning and hunting by Native Americans has created unintended and undesirable outcomes. We then explore historical impacts by Euro-American fur trappers, miners, ranchers, and tourists. Next, we examine the history of management inside YNP and how implementation of modern-day management has had unintended consequences for the people and natural resources of the Northern Range. We conclude with several recommendations for future actions to improve natural resource stewardship of the Northern Range.

Download or read book Yellowstone Wildlife written by Paul A. Johnsgard and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellowstone Wildlife is a natural history of the wildlife species that call Yellowstone National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem their home. Illustrated with stunning images by renowned wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen, Yellowstone Wildlife describes the lives of species in the park, exploring their habitats from the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole. From charismatic megafauna like elk, bison, wolves, bighorn sheep, and grizzly bears, to smaller mammals like bats, pikas, beavers, and otters, to some of the 279 species of birds, Johnsgard describes the behavior of animals throughout the seasons, with sections on what summer and autumn mean to the wildlife of the park, especially with the intrusion of millions of tourists each year. Enhanced by Mangelsen’s wildlife photography, Yellowstone Wildlife reveals the beauty and complexity of these species’ intertwined lives and that of Yellowstone’s greater ecosystem.
