ABSTRACT

The relationships of terrestrial vertebrates

to plant communities, structural conditions,

and special habitats in the Great Basin of southeastern Oregon are described in a series of appendices. The importance of habitat components to wildlife and the predictability of management activities on wildlife are examined in

terms of managed rangelands. The derivation

and use of these appendices are described in a

companion publication, General Technical Report PNW-172, Part 1.

THE AUTHORS

CHRIS MASER is Research Wildlife

Biologist, U.S. Department of the Interior,

Bureau of Land Management, Corvallis, Oregon. JACK WARD THOMAS is Chief Research

Wildlife Biologist, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, La Grande, Oregon.

RALPH G. ANDERSON is Biological Technician, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest

Service, Joseph, Oregon.
This publication is part of the series Wildlife

Habitats in Managed Rangelands-The Great

Basin of Southeastern Oregon. The purpose of

the series is to provide a range manager with

the necessary information on wildlife and its

relationship to habitat conditions in managed

rangelands in order that the manager may

make fully informed decisions.

The information in this series is specific to

the Great Basin of southeastern Oregon and is

generally applicable to the shrub-steppe areas

of the Western United States. The principles

and processes described, however, are generally

applicable to all managed rangelands. The pur-’

pose of the series is to provide specific information for a particular area but in doing so to

develop a process for considering the welfare

of wildlife when range management decisions

are made.

The series is composed of 14 separate publications designed to form a comprehensive

whole. Although each part will be an independent treatment of a specific subject, when combined in sequence, the individual parts will be

as chapters in a book.

Individual parts will be printed as they become available. In this way the information will

be more quickly available to potential users.

This means, however, that the sequence of

printing will not be in the same order as the

final organization of the separates into a comprehensive whole.

A list of the publications in the series, their

current availability, and their final organization is shown on the inside back cover of this

publication.

Wildlife Habitats in Managed RangelandsThe Great Basin of Southeastern Oregon is a

cooperative effort of the USDA Forest Service,

Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, and United States Department

of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

Introduction

The appendices that follow provide the data

base information to consider wildlife habitat

relationships in that portion of the Great Basin

that lies in southeastern Oregon. The details

on how this information was derived and how

it may be used to analyze impacts of land management decisions on terrestrial vertebrates

are given in:

Maser, Chris; Thomas, Jack Ward; Anderson, Ralph G. Wildlife habitats in managed rangelands-the Great Basin of

southeastern Oregon: the relationships of

terrestrial vertebrates to plant communities and structural conditions. Gen.

Tech. Rep. PNW-172, part 1 of 2 parts.

Portland, OR: U.S. Department ofAgriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest

Forest and Range Experiment Station;

1984. 25 p.

These appendices are published separately

as they are apt to be of interest primarily to

those applying the wildlife habitat relationships system to the particular geographical

area described. The text (part 1, referenced

above) discusses the principles and procedures

concerning the development and application of

wildlife habitat relationships that are of a more

general interest.
