Download or read book Great Basin Factsheet Series 2016 written by Jeanne C. Chambers and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land managers are responsible for developing effective strategies for conserving and restoring Great Basin ecosystems in the face of invasive species, conifer expansion, and altered fire regimes. A warming climate is magnifying the effects of these threats and adding urgency to implementation of management practices that will maintain or improve ecosystem functioning. This Factsheet Series was developed to provide land managers with brief summaries of the best available information on contemporary management issues to facilitate science delivery and foster effective management. Each peer-reviewed factsheet was developed as a collaborative effort among knowledgeable scientists and managers. The series begins with information on how to put ecosystem resilience and resistance concepts into practice. Subsequent factsheets address key threats to Great Basin ecosystems - limiting medusa head invasion and restoring perennial communities, reducing woody fuel loads and establishing effective fuel breaks, assessing and mitigating soil erosion, managing threats to aspen communities in a changing environment, and seeding and transplanting techniques for restoring sagebrush communities.
Download or read book Habitat Threats in the Sagebrush Ecosystem written by David S. Dobkin and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the status and future of the sagebrush ecosystem and its dependent species. The ecosystem is not healthy and is diminishing due to the many and various human land uses. Maintaining the ecosystem will require monumental changes in management and those changes must address all land uses in an integrated, holistic manner to be effective. The two major obstacles are a lack of needed resources, both funds and land use direction, and the attempt to stop the loss and degradation of sagebrush habitats while lacking essential research information on which to base effective strategies.
Download or read book The Great Basin Restoration Initiative written by Bob Abbey and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the third in a series about the Great Basin Restoration Initiative. The first two reports, Great Basin Restoration Initiative : Out of Ashes, An Opportunity (August 1999) explained the threats and ecological status of the Great Basin; and The Great Basin : Healing the Land (April 2000) proposed guiding principles and outlined goals and actions in five key areas to help direct restoration work. Since then, an expanded team representing many disciplines has continued to work on strategies and products to assist restoration work in the Great Basin. The overall effort has become known as the Great Basin Restoration Initiative, or GBRI. But two years after the devastating wildfires of 1999, it's fair to ask some questions about GBRI. What has been accomplished? What is GBRI's funding outlook? How does GBRI tie into the national fire plan, efforts to improve sage grouse habitat, and other related efforts? And what is the support level from management? This report addresses these questions, and provides an overall update on the GBRI effort. After two years, it's time to check in, assess and evaluate. It's time to affirm the direction GBRI is headed, and it's also time to pick up the pace.

Book excerpt: Great Basin Nat, Park encompasses over 77,000 acres of White Pine County in east-central Nevada. The National Park Service mgmt. plan identifies threats to air quality and visibility -- incl. air pollution from the possible development of coal-fired power plants in the region. In 2004 and 2006, two companies each initiated the process to build new coal-fired power plants about 55 miles northwest of Great Basin National Park. These new power plants could adversely affect air quality and visibility in and around the park. This report describes: (1) current air quality and visibility in and around Great Basin National Park; and (2) stakeholders' views about the potential impacts of the proposed coal-fired power plants on air quality and visibility in and around the park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Arrington, who died in 1999, is considered by most, if not all, serious scholars of Mormon and western history as the single most important figure to write on LDS history. Great Basin Kingdom is perhaps his greatest work. A classic in Mormon studies and western history, Great Basin Kingdom offers insights into the 'underdeveloped' American economy, a comprehensive treatment of one of the few native American religious movements, and detailed, exciting stories from little-known phases of Mormon and American history. This edition includes thirty new photographs and an introduction by Ronald W. Walker that provides a brief biography of Arrington, as well as the history of the work, its place in Mormon and western historiography, and its lasting impact.
