Cover photos (top to bottom): Huachuca Mountains, The Nature Conservancy Air tanker retardant drop, USDA Forest Service Palominas Fire, Arizona (2004), Gordon Lewis HAFP field exercise, Arizona (2004), Brooke Gebow Summary The Huachuca Area Fire Partners (HAFP) is an alliance of public and private groups in southeastern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. Parties from the Patagonia Mountains on the west to the San Pedro River on the east have come together to manage fire activities over the 500,000-acre borderlands area. The Fire Management Plan is a general framework for landscape-level fire management that does not replace any approved fire management plans of partner organizations. Partner FMPs always take precedent over this framework. The intent of the HAFP is to take on projects that participants are unable to accomplish on their own. This FMP is one result of ongoing collaboration among these landowners: Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch, National Audubon Society Arizona State Land Department Babocomari Ranch Coronado National Memorial, National Park Service Fort Huachuca, U.S. Army San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, Bureau of Land Management San Rafael Ranch San Rafael Ranch State Park, Arizona State Parks Sierra Vista Ranger District, Coronado National Forest, USDA Forest Service Southeastern Arizona Preserves, The Nature Conservancy Historically, fire burned frequently in the grasslands and woodlands of southeastern Arizona. Regular fire keeps shrubs out of grasslands, thins forests to remove fire-intolerant trees, increases streamflows, and renews wildlife habitat. Fire also prevents unwanted fire. Burning and other treatments can minimize potential for wildfires by reducing overall quantities of fuels and breaking up contiguous vegetation. The fire partnership aims to work together to let natural fires burn when feasible, suppress unwanted wildfires, conduct prescribed burns, and use non-fire means to reduce fuels around developed areas. HAFP projects will cross political boundaries to manage fire along natural features and roadways. The benefits of managing for fire on a broad landscape scale such as the Huachuca area are numerous. Foremost are: increased public and fire crew safety, widespread improvement in ecosystem function, and economical execution of fire activities. The HAFP landscape includes a diverse mix of geologic, hydrologic, and vegetation conditions. Chapter 2 of this plan defines thirteen prominent ecological units that provide a context for understanding fire regimes and resulting management considerations. Chapter 3 describes three fire management units (FMUs) for the area. The first FMU is the site of suppression and non-fire applications around high risk areas. The second FMU allows prescribed fire in addition to non-fire applications and suppression. The third FMU embraces all management strategies including wildland fire use. Chapter 4 discusses wildland fire operations of the many landowners in the region, particularly how the Coronado National Forest coordinates with other landowners. Chapter 5 proposes a number of collaborative projects for the HAFP and discusses why the particular projects are priorities. The chapter presents purpose, location, size, timing, cost, and i wildland-urban interface concerns for each project. Each project involves at least two parties from the group and benefits from broader participation. Chapters 6 through 10 look at the regional environmental issues and compliance concerns facing fire managers in the HAFP planning area. Chapter 6 reviews issues that would likely be the focus of analysis of the proposed HAFP fire program under the National Environmental Policy Act. Chapter 7, written with the assistance of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Ecological Services office, addresses the responsible protection of sensitive natural resources, with emphasis on requirements of the Endangered Species Act. The analysis for Federally listed species forms the basis of a future programmatic Biological Assessment. The need to protect the region’s rich biological diversity is one of the major drivers of this collaboration. The proliferation of non-native, invasive grasses create other challenges for fire managers. Chapter 8 introduces the most problematic invasives in the planning area, Johnson grass and Lehmann lovegrass. In Chapter 9, the plan acknowledges the long cultural history of the Huachuca area along with important protection measures for the many sites, structures, and objects that remain as evidence of previous residents. Chapter 10 describes the Huachuca region south of the border with Mexico, discusses complications introduced by illegal border crossing, and concludes with a look at the potential for cross-border fire management cooperation. Chapter 11 identifies the many environmental monitoring efforts taking place throughout the planning area. Regional resource managers have provided their monitoring history on sensitive species, invasive species, fire, range/grazing, border impacts, weather, and water. The chapter also summarizes the monitoring needs of the HAFP fire program, acknowledging the difficulty of acquiring the funding to carry out monitoring projects. The HAFP will creatively apply existing and new monitoring efforts to improve fire management. Chapter 12 compiles HAFP outreach priorities. An important benefit of the collaboration is communication about fire to all sectors of the public with a unified voice. The chapter identifies key audiences and messages. Chapter 13 recognizes the many individuals and organizations that have contributed to this fire management plan. This collaborative effort has succeeded because of their expertise, dedication, and hard work in the form of research, decisions, mapping, writing, and editing. The Huachuca Area Fire Partners thank Tom Dooley, Peter Ffolliott, Lisa Hanson, Bob Lineback, Dean McAlister, Guy McPherson, and Mark Pater for their thorough reviews of this document. Their helpful suggestions have been incorporated into this final version of the FMP (November 17, 2005). ii Agreement The Huachuca Area Fire Partners (HAFP) seek to restore healthy landscapes and ecosystems by managing fire collaboratively as set forth in this Fire Management Plan (FMP). By our signatures, we adopt this FMP on behalf of the organizations we represent. We acknowledge that our partnership is voluntary in nature. The HAFP FMP will complement but not replace our own agency guidelines for managing fire. This FMP reflects our resolve to see fire managed on a landscape scale and work as a safe, ecologically beneficial process in a biologically rich region with diverse owners and users.

Wolff* * University of Arizona School of Anthropology, University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 [email protected] Sarah E. Wolff. 2013. Home on the Range: Biogeographic Distribution of Bison in Arizona. – Palarch’s Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology 10(4) (2013), 1-11. ISSN 1567- 2158. 11 pages + 3 figures, 1 table. Keywords: Bison, Biogeography, Arizona, Southwest historical ecology ABSTRACT The American bison are traditionally thought of as animals of the vast plains and grasslands, but paleontological and archaeological evidence supports the view that the biogeographic range of bison extended throughout the continental United States to include the American Southwest and Arizona. During the Pleistocene (2,588,000 BP to 11,700 BP), there are several paleontological and archaeological signatures of bison herds in Arizona. From approximately 12,000 BP to AD 1 there is no evidence for bison in the area. This changes around AD 1 when the climate became more favorable, and bison expanded back into Arizona. The last historic bison remains in Arizona date to AD 1650. From AD 1650 until the early 1900s, there are no bison documented in Arizona. Reintroduction of bison to Arizona’s national forests and ran- ches began in the early 1900s and continues to today. Bison can still be seen on the Arizona landscape demonstrating the temporal longevity of the biogeographic distribution of bison in Arizona. © PalArch Foundation 1 Wolff, TER-QUA PalArch’s Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology, 10(4) (2013) Introduction Arizona is a somewhat surprising area to find bison because of the desert ecology that Biogeographic distribution of bison as previous- dominates the state today.

  • Plant Index2014
    Plant Index Subject Index Author Index These three parts of the Cumulative Index represent the accumulated work of the 12 editors of the Rock Garden Quarterly and its various precursor publications. Some of these editors have highly professional editing skills. Others, and I am one of these, find editing to be a challenge to which they have to rise. Inevitably this means that different criteria may have been applied as to what warrants indexing. This presents few problems in the Author Index, relatively few in the Plant Index, but major problems in the Subject Index where the criteria that can be applied are so much more a matter of subjective judgement. This is not a completely re-edited index with every reference having been checked through. Inevitably, there are errors in this index but the value of making it available online alongside the complete archive of issues seems clear despite any such errors. A group led by Ben Burr has been working for some time developing a three-part fully- linked searchable index, and work is pretty much completed on the Author Index. This also involves complete updating of all references so that they can be linked electronically. Obviously their work will be invaluable but it will be a considerable time before the whole project is brought to fruition. Even when the new index is complete and fully implemented I believe there will be value in a traditional index which allows browsing. I like to have the opportunity to browse an index alongside the valuable addition of a fully-linked index and I do not believe I am alone in this.
