  • Gila National Forest - Forest Plan Revision
    Forest Plan Revision Overview The Forest Plan is the comprehensive document guiding management for all resources on the National Forest for the next 15 years or more An opportunity for your knowledge and suggestions to be heard and shape the Forest’s future management Policy requires that forest plans be revised periodically. The Forest and surrounding areas have experienced significant changes since 1986 when the existing plan was approved. THREE PHASES 1.Assessment (1.5 years) 2.Plan Revision (~3 years) 3.Implementation and Monitoring (15+ years) How can you help? Be an active stakeholder in developing a future vision for the forest Your input will help develop plan direction that will provide for a healthy, diverse, and productive Forest in addition to the many benefits and uses desired by local communities and visitors of today and future generations.

  • Bioregions: an Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective and a Proposal for California
    CALIFORNIAFISH ANDGAME Calif. Fish and Game (80)3:97-l24 1994 BIOREGIONS: AN ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE AND A PROPOSAL FOR CALIFORNIA HARTWELL H. WELSH, JR. USDA Forest Service Redwood Sciences Laboratory 1700 Bayview Dr. Arcata, CA. 95521 Bioregions are natural assemblages of plants and animals with discernible but dynamic boundaries existing simultaneously along both spatial and temporal trajectories.I argue that the designation of bioregions should be based on the study of biogeography and must adhere to the tenets of this discipline; they are not spatial designations of political convenience. Bioregions are defined by physiographic and climatic limits that define the natural communities of organisms in space and time through interactions with the physiological and behavioral capabilities of these organisms. Plants are less vagile than animals and therefore lend themselves better to describing such natural communities. Despite the fluctuation of biotic communities in both time and space, and the anthropogenic bias inherent in defining their composition, such natural assemblages do exist on the landscape and they are of scientific interest and have useful management applications. I propose sixteen bioregions for thestateof California and include definitions of geographic boundaries, dominant plant communities, and lists of vertebrate species typical of these bioregions. INTRODUCTION My purpose in describing a set of biotic provinces for California is two-fold: (1) to establish such sub-divisions with a firm biological basis, grounded in the biogeographic literature; and (2) to provide a biogeographic framework for the conservation of California’s faunaI resources and natural biodiversity, while facilitating wise use of its natural resources. My particular emphasis is on vertebrate wildlife resources, and these proposed bioregions were initially-developed to provide the basis for a bioregional revision of California’s statewide Wildlife Habitat Relationships System (WHR) (Airola 1988) in order to improve the system’s accuracy and utility.

  • Whitewater Baldy Complex Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team Executive Summary
    6/18/2012 Whitewater Baldy Complex Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team Executive Summary Glenwood, Reserve, Black Range, and Wilderness Ranger Districts Gila National Forest Silver City, New Mexico June 18, 2012 1 6/18/2012 Executive Summary Introduction In May and June of 2012, the Whitewater Baldy Complex burned approximately 290,000 acres (117,359 hectares) of the Glenwood, Reserve, Wilderness, and Black Range Ranger Districts of the Gila National Forest. The Fire started as two separate lightning strike fires near Mogollon Baldy and in the headwaters of Whitewater Creek in the Gila Wilderness east of Glenwood NM. The two fires joined in extreme fire behavior on 5/23/2012 to form the Whitewater Baldy Complex. The fire severely burned a large tract of land across the Gila National Forest and the Gila Wilderness, including the headwaters of Whitewater Creek, Mineral Creek, and Gilita Creek that drain directly into the communities of Glenwood, Alma, and Willow Creek respectively. All of these population centers are situated in the floodplains of drainages affected by the fire. Much of the vegetation, duff and soil that once served to slow and hold water were eliminated as a result of the fire. Steep slopes further aggravate the situation. In fact, the Whitewater Baldy Complex Fire BAER team has modeled and predicted post-fire peak flows for a 25 year 6 hour precipitation event at 140 times the pre-fire flow in Willow Creek. Post-fire flows from a 25 year precipitation event are expected to increase 2-4 times in most of the affected drainages.
