A Management-Oriented Classification Of Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands Of The Great Basin, Neil E. West, Robin J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station
A Management-Oriented Classification Of Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands Of The Great Basin, Neil E. West, Robin J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Pinyon-juniper woodlands occupy about 18 percent (7.1 million ha, 17.6 million acres) of the land area of the Great Basin (Tueller and others 1979). The associated tree species are found over a wide range of environmental conditions extending from communities representative of the upper fringes of the Mohave Desert to communities found at the lower fringes of high mountain forests. Over this spatial and elevational range, communities associated with pinyon-juniper woodlands are highly variable, with complex distribution and compositional patterns. This variability is due to climatic changes occurring over the last 10,000 years and to variation in current environmental conditions …
Record Of Decision And Finding Of No Significant Impact For The Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management
Record Of Decision And Finding Of No Significant Impact For The Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management
Record of Decisions (WY)
The planning review was conducted to analyze and weigh the affects of retaining or changing the Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) designation for the BLM-administered public lands within the Shirley Mountain Planning Review Area. The proposed decision considers comments received during public scoping and the 45-day comment period for the Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management Environmental Assessment (EA).
Cloud Peak Wilderness Management Direction Final Environmental Assessment For The Amendment To The Bighorn National Forest Land And Resource Management Plan, United States Forest Service
Cloud Peak Wilderness Management Direction Final Environmental Assessment For The Amendment To The Bighorn National Forest Land And Resource Management Plan, United States Forest Service
Environmental Assessments (WY)
The purpose of this EA is to amend the Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) for the Wilderness Management Standards and Guidelines (S&Gs). The need for the revised S&Gs is to provide more definable and measurable standards related to the items described in the Proposed Action. Current S&Gs do not provide sufficient direction to determine the trend of the Cloud Peak Wilderness (CPW) condition or require conflicting actions. The proposed S&Gs will facilitate determination of the trend of physical, biological and social aspects of the wilderness resource.

Challis Resource Area Proposed Resource Management Plan And Final Environmental Impact Statement Volume 2 (Of 2), United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management
Resource Management Plans (ID)
The climate of the Challis Resource Area is influenced primarily by maritime air carried eastward on prevailing westerly winds. General climatic characteristics are abundant sunshine, low humidity, and high evaporation. The major precipitation source, particularly for winter storms, is the Northern Pacific Ocean. In the summer, however, most of the thunderstorm activity is caused by moisture-laden air originating from the south, off the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Challis Resource Area Proposed Resource Management Plan And Final Environmental Impact Statement, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management
Resource Management Plans (ID)
The Challis Proposed Resource Management Plan/Final Environmental Impact Statement (PRMP/FEIS) describes the Bureau of Land Management's proposed plan for managing approximately 792,567 acres of public lands administered by the BLM within the Challis Resource Area. The PRMP/FEIS is based on the Preferred Alternative (Alternative 2) described in the Challis Draft RMP/EIS (BLM, May 1996), as modified in response to public and tribal comments and internal BLM recommendations. It describes changes from and corrections to the Challis Draft RMP/EIS, updates the discussion of the affected environment, provides an analysis of environmental consequences for the Proposed RMP, and records public comments and …

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The decision to implement this plan is in conformance with the 1987 Grand Junction Resource Area Resource Management Plan (RMP). Many of the management actions being proposed in the plan constitute an amendment of the RMP. This integrated resource management plan employs a "benefits based management approach" which expands our management focus beyond lands and resources to also address resulting outcomes as improved conditions. Plan implementation for the RCBR ecosystem will be done through an interdisciplinary ad-hoc committee which defines issues and prioritizes management actions. In addition, the vision statement developed by the ad-hoc committee will continue to provide guidance …

Bighorn National Forest Draft Noxious Weed Management Environmental Assessment, United States Forest Service
Bighorn National Forest Draft Noxious Weed Management Environmental Assessment, United States Forest Service
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Forest Service proposes to implement a management plan to control noxious weeds on the Bighorn National Forest. This management plan would be in accordance with general direction in the Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) to treat noxious farm weeds (Bighorn National Forest LRMP, III-45) to improve range conditions and manage undersirable plant species. Five additional Federal Laws also address this action: 1. The Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (RPA, P.L. 93-378). 2. The Public Rangeland Improvement Act of 1978. 3. The Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974 Section 2(b)(2) and Section 2 of (P.L. …
The Status Of Iowa's Lepidoptera, Dennis W. Schlicht, Timothy T. Orwig
The Status Of Iowa's Lepidoptera, Dennis W. Schlicht, Timothy T. Orwig
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Including strays, 122 species of butterflies have been confirmed in Iowa. However, since European settlement the populations of taxa of Iowa Lepidoptera have declined. While certain generalist species have experienced declines, species with life cycles that include native habitats, especially prairies and wetlands, have been particularly vulnerable. In a 1994 revision of the Iowa endangered and threatened species list, the Natural Resource Commission (NRC) listed two species of butterflies as endangered, five as threatened, and 25 as special concern, using general legal definitions of those rankings (NRC 1994). But after examining recent records, we have revised that list, using numbers …
