Porter's Sagebrush Is Endemic to the Wind River and Powder River Basins in Central Wyoming
Status of Porter’s Sagebrush (Artemisia porteri) in Wyoming Prepared for the Bureau of Land Management Wyoming State Office And Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, University of Wyoming By Walter Fertig Botanical Consultant 1117 West Grand Canyon Dr. Kanab, UT 84741 25 September 2002 Agreement # K910-A4-0011 Task Order No. TO-09 ABSTRACT Porter's sagebrush is endemic to the Wind River and Powder River basins in central Wyoming. It is found primarily in sparsely vegetated Artemisia pedatifida, A. longifolia, or A. porteri communities on barren clay or ashy badlands, flats, or gullies derived from the Wind River, Wagon Bed, or Frontier formations. This species is currently known from 11 extant occurrences consisting of at least 60 subpopulations covering less than 1250 acres. Individual colonies typically number from 100-1000 individuals and occupy areas of 1-50 acres. Based on surveys in 1999, the current population of Porter's sagebrush is conservatively estimated at 50,000-75,000 plants. Porter's sagebrush is primarily threatened by mineral development (oil, natural gas and uranium) within its limited range and specialized habitat. This species was designated as Sensitive by the BLM in 2001 and occurs primarily on BLM lands in the Buffalo, Casper, and Lander field offices. No populations currently receive formal protection, although the population in the Lysite Badlands is managed under special use regulations in the BLM Lander Resource Area Resource Management Plan. Porter's sagebrush is now known to be more widespread and abundant in Wyoming than previously suspected. Until sufficient habitat is afforded protection or management strategies are developed and implemented for this species in mineral extraction areas, A. -

NUTRIENT RESOURCES AND STOICHIOMETRY AFFECT THE ECOLOGY OF ABOVE- AND BELOWGROUND INVERTEBRATE CONSUMERS by JAYNE LOUISE JONAS B.S., Wayne State College, 1998 M.S., Kansas State University, 2000 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Division of Biology College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2007 Abstract Aboveground and belowground food webs are linked by plants, but their reciprocal influences are seldom studied. Because phosphorus (P) is the primary nutrient associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, and evidence suggests it may be more limiting than nitrogen (N) for some insect herbivores, assessing carbon (C):N:P stoichiometry will enhance my ability to discern trophic interactions. The objective of this research was to investigate functional linkages between aboveground and belowground invertebrate populations and communities and to identify potential mechanisms regulating these interactions using a C:N:P stoichiometric framework. Specifically, I examine (1) long-term grasshopper community responses to three large-scale drivers of grassland ecosystem dynamics, (2) food selection by the mixed-feeding grasshopper Melanoplus bivittatus, (3) the mechanisms for nutrient regulation by M. bivittatus, (4) food selection by fungivorous Collembola, and (5) the effects of C:N:P on invertebrate community composition and aboveground-belowground food web linkages. In my analysis of grasshopper community responses to fire, bison grazing, and weather over 25 years, I found that all three drivers affected grasshopper community dynamics, most likely acting indirectly through effects on plant community structure, composition and nutritional quality. In a field study, the diet of M. -

Coordinated Resource Management Plan
APPLETON-WHITTELL RESEARCH RANCH COORDINATED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN The Research Ranch was established in 1968 by the Appleton family as an ecological field station to provide a large scale exclosure by which various land uses and actions in the Southwest could be evaluated. This role, as a control or reference area, creates challenges to land management actions. Each proposed action must be judged not only on the conservation outcome but also on the potential to have adverse impact on the research values for which the field station was established. Effective management for both conservation and research is only possible if all partners are informed and involved. The Research Ranch, approximately 8,000 acres, is a complicated partnership among land owners and federal land administrative agencies: Coronado National Forest (CNF), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Resolution Copper Mining Co. (RCM), The Research Ranch Foundation (TRRF), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and National Audubon Society (NAS or Audubon). NAS manages the facility via contractual agreements with each entity. The Research Ranch is a Center/Sanctuary of NAS, administered through the Audubon Arizona state office in Phoenix. Audubon’s strategic plan is to achieve conservation results on a broad scale by leveraging the NAS network and engaging diverse people; the Research Ranch is evaluated by NAS for its support of the following conservation concerns: Climate Change, Water, Working Lands and Bird Friendly Communities. This Coordinated Resource Management Plan (CRMP) constitutes all ownership along with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Arizona Game & Fish Department (AZGF) and US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). Planned practices to meet goals listed in this CRMP may not necessarily be implemented on all parcels.
