Executive Summary
This document was prepared by a group of scientists with expertise in California rangeland
ecosystems. The group was asked to critically review the Sierra Nevada Ecosystem
Project (SNEP 1996), Forest Service Sierra Nevada Science Team (SNST 1998) report,
and other literature in order to provide an assessment of the current science base for

prepared a draft report in 5 weeks as requested, which was reviewed by scientists,
managers, users, and other interested publics. This final report adds to the literature base
