The Influence Of Slope On Vegetation Recovery Following Nonnative Grazer Removal On Santa Rosa Island, California, Ryan Summers, Jamie Masukawa, Brett D. Hartman

Western North American Naturalist

Ecosystem restoration efforts have been ongoing on the Channel Islands of California since the 1980s. Although these island ecosystems evolved without ungulate grazers, large nonnative grazers, including sheep, cattle, feral pigs, deer, and elk, were present on the islands for over 160 years. Intensive grazing led to reductions in the extent of woody vegetation, increases in the area of grassland and bare ground, and widespread landsliding and gully erosion. This study focuses on Santa Rosa Island, the second largest (215.3 km²) island in Channel Islands National Park. After the park was created in 1980, the National Park Service …

Regeneration And Expansion Of Quercus Tomentella (Island Oak) Groves On Santa Rosa Island, Jay Woolsey, Cause Hanna, Kathryn Mceachern, Sean Anderson, Brett D. Hartman

Western North American Naturalist

Quercus tomentella (island oak) is an endemic species that plays a key functional role in Channel Island ecosystems. Growing in groves on highland ridges, Q. tomentella captures fog and increases water inputs, stabilizes soils, and provides habitat for flora and fauna. This cloud forest system has been impacted by a long history of ranching, and restoration efforts are underway that include erosion control, leaf litter capture, fog capture, and reforestation. To inform retoration efforts, we explored tree regeneration and the potential for Q. tomentella grove expansion on Santa Rosa Island. We delineated current and historic groves at Black Mountain by …

Landscape Modeling Of The Potential Natural Vegetation Of Santa Catalina Island, California, Travis Longcore, Nina Noujdina, Peter J. Dixon

Western North American Naturalist

The vegetation of Santa Catalina Island has been significantly transformed through a history of introduction of exotic plant species and disturbance by large introduced herbivores. Many of these disturbances have been reduced in recent decades, using measures such as carefully controlling the number of bison and removing cattle, sheep, feral pigs, and goats. The success of subsequent vegetation restoration actions depends on the choice of the right plant community for a location, which may not be obvious for an island with extensive areas dominated by exotic species. Environmental niche modeling is an approach to re-create the spatial distribution of habitat …
