  • Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (Ovis Canadensis Canadensis)
    June 2007 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) INDICATOR SPECIES HABITAT Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep inhabit the cliffs and crags or other extremely rocky areas in tundra and alpine areas from the summit peaks to around 200 meters below the tree line of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The species is an indicator for the presence of alpine, subalpine tundra and mountain meadow grassland (USDA 1986a, p.97). Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep may have been extirpated from New Mexico, where it was native to the northern most area of the state. Populations have been reintroduced using more stock from the central and northern Rockies, and viable herds exist in several areas of the state, including the east-side of the Carson National Forest (NMDGF 2006b). Bighorn prefer precipitous terrain adjacent to suitable feeding sites of high mountain meadows with grasses, forbs and browse species. Bighorn habitat is found in areas where canopy cover is less than 25 to 30 percent and slopes are greater than 60 percent for escape terrain adjacent to grazing areas. Forage, water, and escape terrain are the most important components of bighorn sheep habitat (Van Dyke et al. 1983, NMDGF 2005A). Generally, bighorn sheep have two distinct, separate summer and winter ranges. Most of the year is spent on the winter range, where the elevation is typically below 10,826 feet (3,300 m). The aspect is usually south or southwest. Rams often venture onto the more open slopes, although rugged terrain is always nearby. During severe weather, if snow becomes unusually deep or crusty, bighorn sheep move to slightly higher elevations where wind and sunshine have cleared the more exposed slopes and ridges (NMDGF 2005A).

  • Santa Fe National Forest
    Chapter 1: Introduction In Ecological and Biological Diversity of National Forests in Region 3 Bruce Vander Lee, Ruth Smith, and Joanna Bate The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We summarized existing regional-scale biological and ecological assessment information from Arizona and New Mexico for use in the development of Forest Plans for the eleven National Forests in USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Region 3). Under the current Planning Rule, Forest Plans are to be strategic documents focusing on ecological, economic, and social sustainability. In addition, Region 3 has identified restoration of the functionality of fire-adapted systems as a central priority to address forest health issues. Assessments were selected for inclusion in this report based on (1) relevance to Forest Planning needs with emphasis on the need to address ecosystem diversity and ecological sustainability, (2) suitability to address restoration of Region 3’s major vegetation systems, and (3) suitability to address ecological conditions at regional scales. We identified five assessments that addressed the distribution and current condition of ecological and biological diversity within Region 3. We summarized each of these assessments to highlight important ecological resources that exist on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico: • Extent and distribution of potential natural vegetation types in Arizona and New Mexico • Distribution and condition of low-elevation grasslands in Arizona • Distribution of stream reaches with native fish occurrences in Arizona • Species richness and conservation status attributes for all species on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico • Identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation from Ecoregional Assessments from Arizona and New Mexico Analyses of available assessments were completed across all management jurisdictions for Arizona and New Mexico, providing a regional context to illustrate the biological and ecological importance of National Forests in Region 3.
