Caicco Natural Heritage Section Nongame Wildlife/Endangered Species Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1988 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut Street, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Grant Project Idaho Panhandle National Forests Idaho Department of Fish and Game Contract No. 53-0281-7-163 ABSTRACT Eleven of thirteen species of the genus Carex (sedges) which have been designated as Sensitive Species within Region 1 of the U.S. Forest Service are known to occur in Idaho. In this study, the status of these thirteen species, plus one other species of sedge, on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests was investigated through herbaria searches and field surveys. In individual reports, the taxonomy, description, range, habitat, collection record, and conservation status of nine of the fourteen species are discussed. Each species discussion ends with recommendations for land managers and field personnel. The other five species of sedge are more briefly discussed.

SCHMITZ***, and FRANCIS A. MACDONALD* ABSTRACT. Neoproterozoic glacial diamictites and rift-related volcanics are pre- served throughout the North American Cordillera, yet the nature and timing of both glaciation and rifting are poorly constrained. New geochronological, geochemical, and stratigraphic data from the Cryogenian Gataga volcanics and bounding units at Gataga Mountain, in the Kechika Trough of northern British Columbia, better constrain the age of these rift-related volcanics and suggest that they erupted during glaciation. At Gataga Mountain, three informal sequences are exposed; a basal quartzite, the Gataga volcanics, and an overlying mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession. The basal quartz- ite is dominated by cross-bedded sandstone with an intertidal facies assemblage including bidirectional cross-stratification and mud-cracks, indicative of non-glacial deposition. The overlying Gataga volcanics are over one kilometer thick, comprising both mafic and felsic units, with volcaniclastic breccia and interbedded sedimentary units including iron formation and matrix-supported diamictite with exotic clasts. Magmatic ages in the upper Gataga volcanics span 696.2 ؎ 0.2 to 690.1 ؎ 0.2 Ma, and detrital zircon from the underlying non-glacial quartzite provide a maximum age constraint on the onset of glaciation <735.8 ؎ 0.6 Ma. We interpret interfingering beds of matrix-supported diamictite with exotic clasts within the Gataga volcanics to record sub-ice shelf sedimentation and volcanism during the Sturtian Glaciation.

Abstract Gaines, William L.; Singleton, Peter H.; Ross, Roger C. 2003. Assessing the cumulative effects of linear recreation routes on wildlife habitats on the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forests. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-586. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 79 p. We conducted a literature review to document the effects of linear recreation routes on focal wildlife species. We identified a variety of interactions between focal species and roads, motorized trails, and nonmotorized trails. We used the available science to de- velop simple geographic information system-based models to evaluate the cumulative effects of recreational routes on habitats for focal wildlife species for a portion of the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forests in the state of Washington. This process yielded a basis for the consistent evaluation of the cumulative effects of roads and recreation trails on wildlife habitats, and identified information gaps for future research and monitoring.
