The purpose of Chapter 6 is to recommend management strategies, actions, or processes that will provide for a sustainable biological and social ecosystem within the Springs Mountains National Recreation Area (NRA). The recommendations are intended to be used for development of program direction, project priorities, and information/data needs. It is also anticipated that any specific recommendation may be modified as a result of additional information, future analysis, or agency direction. The recommendations are both broad scale in nature and site specific, with scope of the recommendations being compatible with both the accuracy and specificity of the information contained in the Landscape Assessment. The basis for the recommendations is found within Chapters 1-5 of this Landscape Assessment. The Recommendations are developed in response to the key questions that were initially developed by the Project Interdisciplinary Team. However, some of the recommendations are more programmatic in nature and thus address all key questions and are identified separately. In addition, Chapter 6 contains recommendations regarding specific Action Items contained in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area Conservation Agreement (CA) (Table

  • Cultural Background of the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area
    American Indian Groups Recent studies of the Great Basin region, which includes the Las Vegas and Pahrump Valleys, have begun to show that people may have lived in this area as far back as 12,000 to 13,000 years ago. When people first began to arrive here, the environment was far more wet and lush than the world we know today. Lakes, playas, and marshes all existed in the area and this abundance of water led to a much greater variety of plants and animals that the people who lived here used. As the environment of the Spring Mountains changed over time, a unique physical history developed that helped it evolve into the fascinating place it is today. As the water began to dry up around 10,000 years ago, the Spring Mountains became isolated from the Great Basin mountain ecosystems and slowly the mountains were surrounded by the drier Mojave Desert. As it became warmer and drier, the mountain range also became isolated biologically. The valley floors surrounding the range act as a barrier to most plant and animal migrations, and thus many of the plants and animals found here today are either relic species or are new or evolved species found only to exist in this area. As the physical environment changed, so did the ways that people lived and used the land. American Indian groups have had a continuous presence in Southern Nevada for thousands of years and believe that the Spring Mountains are where their people were created. Because of this, the mountains are considered to be sacred and very special to them.

    5 . S i e r r a N e v a d a Ecoregions of Nevada Ecoregion 5 is a mountainous, deeply dissected, and westerly tilting fault block. It is largely composed of granitic rocks that are lithologically distinct from the sedimentary rocks of the Klamath Mountains (78) and the volcanic rocks of the Cascades (4).

  • Science to Support Land Management in Southern Nevada
    Chapter 6 Species of Conservation Concern and Environmental Stressors: Local, Regional, and Global Effects Steven M. Ostoja, Matthew L. Brooks, Jeanne C. Chambers, and Burton Pendleton Introduction Species conservation has traditionally been based on individual species within the context of their requisite habitat, which is generally defined as the communities and ecosystems deemed necessary for their persistence. Conservation decisions are ham- pered by the fact that environmental stressors that potentially threaten the persistence of species can operate at organizational levels larger than the habitat or home range of a focal species. Resource managers must therefore simultaneously consider local, regional, and/or global scale stressors for effective conservation and management of species of concern. The wide ranging effects associated with global stressors such as climate change may exceed or exacerbate the effects of local or regional stressors. Although resource managers may only be able to directly affect local and regional stressors, they still need to understand the direct and interactive effects of global stressors and ultimately how they affect the lands they manage. Conservation of species in southern Nevada is further complicated by the fact that the region includes one of the largest and fastest growing urban centers in North America. To accomplish the goal of species conserva- tion, resource managers must identify actionable management options that mitigate the effects of local and regional stressors in the context of the effects of global stressors that are beyond their control. Species conservation is typically focused on a subset of species often referred to as species of conservation concern that have either demonstrated considerable decline or are naturally rare or have limited distributions.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volume 9, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991), Bridson (2004), and Bridson and D. W. Brown (http://fmhibd.library.cmu.edu/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=BPH_Online&-loadframes). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and Stafleu et al. (1992–2009). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”.
