Due to the nature of the powers directly granted to the president within the Constitution, much consideration has been given to presidential power through the prisms of national security, international affairs, and times of national emergency. Yet the presidency consists of more than the roles of commander- and diplomat-in-chief. By looking beyond the more obvious considerations of presidential power, the complexity of the institution’s development is not only revealed, but more fully explained. Consequently, this dissertation analyzes the development of presidential power by looking at the less obvious. It considers the use of formal executive tools to implement congressionally delegated and supported authority in an area of domestic policy: the creation of federally protected public lands.

  • Management Area and Watershed Direction
    JEFFERSON NATIONAL FOREST CHAPTER 4 MANAGEMENT AREA AND WATERSHED DIRECTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Principles of ecosystem management include consideration of several geographic scales when making management decisions. The Southern Appalachian Assessment considered a scale larger than the Jefferson National Forest. Site-specific project decisions will consider scales much smaller than the entire Forest. Management Areas serve as a bridge between the scale of the entire forest as described in Chapter 2, Forestwide Direction, the scale of individual Management Prescriptions described in Chapter 3, and the site-specific project level analysis that will be done to implement this Forest Plan. Management Areas were defined based on a holistic approach that considered watershed divides, ecological factors, and social factors. For example, ecologically the Blue Ridge, Ridge and Valley, and Cumberland Mountains Sections distinguish all management areas. Hydrologically, the major river basins of the James, Roanoke, New, Big Sandy, Holston, Cumberland, and Clinch/Powell (Upper Tennessee) delineate many management areas. Lastly, how people relate to and use various areas of the Forest also helped us define some management areas, the High Country of the Mount Rogers for example. The Jefferson National Forest is separated into eleven distinct management areas (see maps on following pages). Generally running from north to south these management areas are: 1. Northern Blue Ridge 70,100 acres 2. Upper James River 196,500 acres 3. New River 184,600 acres 4. North & Middle Fork Holston 39,000 acres 5. Glade Mountain/Pond Mountain 20,600 acres 6. East Iron Mountain (Mount Rogers NRA) 43,200 acres 7. High Country (Mount Rogers NRA) 29,000 acres 8.
