Lakes And Forests As Determinants Of Downstream Nutrient Concentrations In Small Mountain Watersheds, P. D. Brown, Wayne A. Wurtsbaugh, K. Nydick
Lakes And Forests As Determinants Of Downstream Nutrient Concentrations In Small Mountain Watersheds, P. D. Brown, Wayne A. Wurtsbaugh, K. Nydick
Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications
Lakes are dynamic processors of nutrients and may hold an active role in modifying the water chemistry of stream systems. In this study, we examine the influence of lakes and an important terrestrial component—forest cover—on the nutrient levels of stream water in 11 Rocky Mountain (Idaho) watersheds. Water samples were collected from the inflow and outflow of lakes with varying amounts of upstream lakes and forested area during spring runoff and summer base flow. During base flow, mean total nitrogen concentrations at the inflow of final lakes were significantly related to relative upstream lake area, increasing from 34 to 103 …

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The period from 1880 to 1900 is regarded as the period of “spoilation” of western rangelands. In Albert Potters own words, “Quick profits and fortunes lead to speculation and incredible numbers of stock were placed upon the range. Cowman was arrayed against sheep man, big owners against small, and might ruled more often than right.” The Government took no action until 1891 when the Creative Act established the Forest Reserve system under the Interior Department’s General Land Office (GLO). Lacking authority and undermined by political appointees, the GLO foundered until the reserves were transferred to the Bureau of Forestry in …

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.
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 purpose and need of this Travel Plan is to offer a balanced range of motorized road and trail related recreation opportunities in the Forest that is consistent with the management prescriptions adopted in the Revised Forest Plan. These prescriptions include standards for the miles of open roads and motorized trails allowed per square mile. This Travel Plan shows which roads and trails will remain open to meet these road and trail density standards.

Environmental Assessment For 36 Livestock Grazing Allotments On The Shoshone National Forest, United States Forest Service
Environmental Assessment For 36 Livestock Grazing Allotments On The Shoshone National Forest, United States Forest Service
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Shoshone National Forest proposes to issue Term Grazing Permits that will authorize the grazing of livestock on 36 grazing allotments located within the Forest. Permits will be issued for a period of up to 10 years. Part 3 (Special Terms and Conditions) of each permit would contain site specific livestock and rangeland management requirements designed to mitigate existing resource conflicts and implement Forest Plan standards and guidelines specific to each allotment.
Uinta National Forest, Rangeland Ecosystem Forest Plan Amendment, Final Environmental Impact Statement, United States Forest Service
Uinta National Forest, Rangeland Ecosystem Forest Plan Amendment, Final Environmental Impact Statement, United States Forest Service
Final environmental Impact Statements (UT)
This Final Environmental Impact Statement describes alternatives, including a "No Action" alternative for management of National Forest Rangeland Resources on the Uinta National Forest. Alternatives range from no change from past management practices, which in some instances have resulted in less than favorable ecological conditions on National Forest Rangelands and riparian resources, to managing these resources to achieve the "Potential Natural Community" in terms of vegetative cover types and condition. The environmental consequences of all alternatives considered in detail are displayed. The alternative selected for implementation will become an amendment to the Uinta National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. …

Snapshot In Time, Repeat Photography On The Boise National Forest 1870-1992, United States Department Of Agriculture
Forestry
A forest health crisis of unprecedented proportions faced the Boise National Forest in the early years of the 1990's. Six years of drought set the stage for catastrophic outbreaks of insect and disease in the various tree communities of the forest, and wildfires burned hotter and more frequently than at any time in the past. In our often desperate search for ways to moderate the crisis, we turned to the notion of repeat photography to try to understand what happened in the past and how things are different now. We hoped to find some clues that would help shape management …

Estimating Forage Values For Grazing National Forest Lands, United States Department Of Agriculture Economic Research Service
Estimating Forage Values For Grazing National Forest Lands, United States Department Of Agriculture Economic Research Service
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Every 5 years, the Forest Service is required to update its estimates of the value of Forest Service grazing. This report provides estimates of the maximum ability of ranchers to pay for Forest Service grazing. Abilities to pay vary greatly depending on the region of the country and assumptions about costs. Based on current cash costs, the value of Forest Service grazing is greater than the grazing fee. Based on longrun economic costs, the value of grazing is less than the grazing fee. In some regions of the United States, the longrun value of grazing is zero. These low longrun …
