sgrp.usu.edu — The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage-grouse (C. minimus) are species of concern because of their population declines and shrinking geographic distributions. Of continuing interest is the question of population abundance and trends. This publication answers the questions that deal with sage-grouse population, More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — A quasi-experimental situation exists in Rocky Mountain National Park, where elk (Cervus elaphus) populations have increased 3-fold since 1968 following their release from artificial controls within the park. Increases in elk habitat use and decreases in deer habitat use were observed. Significant increases in cover of mosses and lichens occurred More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — The sage grouse that occupies the Mono County area is described as the eastern subspecies of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus urophasianus). The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is found in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) dominated habitats across western North America. Sage grouse populations have declined dramatically More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC, LaCrosse) | Format: URL
www.umesc.usgs.gov — This resource is a species profile and issue overview of the reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). It discusses its increasingly dominating behavior in wet meadows in the Upper Midwest. Reed canary grass is highly tolerant to flooding, resistant to burning, and quickly forms virtual monocultures by shading native grasses and forbs with its More...

www.nbii.gov — Natural resource managers face complex decisions that require a clear understanding of the status of wildlife populations and their habitats. Monitoring is key to making effective management decisions and evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. The goal of NRMP is to improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid More...
