| Abstract: |
The effort reported here is conceived as Phase I of a multiphased approach to ecosystem management. In the first phase, the "backbone" for ecosystem management for the federal forest within the range of the northern spotted owl is, in varying combinations, constructed of a network of late-successional forests and an interim and long-term scheme for protection of aquatic and associated riparian habitats adequate to provide for threatened species and "at risk" species associated with such habitats. In subsequent phases it is expected that planning will be carried out that extends ecosystem management concepts to multiple federal ownerships and perhaps, to state and private lands (at the discretion of those landholders). |
