  • Impact of Backcountry Campsite Use on Forest Structure, Within Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A
    Impact of backcountry campsite use on forest structure, within Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A. by James Y Taylor A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by James Y Taylor (1995) Abstract: This study investigated how backcountry campsite use impacts the surrounding forest structure. Forest structure included the occurrence and distribution of trees around campsites, species composition of trees, forest canopy density, and understory composition. Additional elements considered were mode of user travel, annual number of users, and shoreline topography. It was hypothesized that as distance from the campsite increased, more tree saplings would occur, and that the more resistant species such as Pinus contorts (lodgepole pine) would occur in greater abundance nearer campsites than the less resistant species of Picea engelmannii (Engelmann spruce) and Abies Iasiocarpa (subalpine fir). Other hypotheses were that more annual campsite users would positively correlate with a greater impact, and that there would be measurable differences in the forest structure around campsites with differing user types (backpack, canoe, and motorboat use). Thirty campsites and three control sites on Yellowstone and Shoshone Lakes were studied. Transects with quadrats were used to sample the vegetation outward from each campsite. Within each quadrat all vegetation was classified and counted. Abiotic variables were also noted. There was a significant difference (P = .00002) between the forest structure surrounding backcountry campsites and that surrounding control sites. The number of saplings, forest canopy, conifer species composition and percent bare area were all found to be significantly different between campsites and control sites.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S. Keller were introduced to American Indian tribes in the 1600s, Native American visits to Yellowstone became more frequent.

Box 173460, Bozeman, MT 59717-3460, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-307-344-2281 Received: 17 April 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 6 June 2020 Abstract: Preventing the interbasin transfer of aquatic invasive species is a high priority for natural resource managers. Such transfers can be made by humans or can occur by dispersal through connected waterways. A natural surface water connection between the Atlantic and Pacific drainages in North America exists at Two Ocean Pass south of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri used this route to cross the Continental Divide and colonize the Yellowstone River from ancestral sources in the Snake River following glacial recession 14,000 bp. Nonnative lake trout Salvelinus namaycush were stocked into lakes in the Snake River headwaters in 1890 and quickly dispersed downstream. Lake trout were discovered in Yellowstone Lake in 1994 and were assumed to have been illegally introduced. Recently, lake trout have demonstrated their ability to move widely through river systems and invade headwater lakes in Glacier National Park. Our objective was to determine if lake trout and other nonnative fish were present in the connected waters near Two Ocean Pass and could thereby colonize the Yellowstone River basin in the past or future.
