Managing for featured, threatened, endangered, and sensitive species and unique habitats for ecosystem sustainability. Forest Service general technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7118334
The traditional approach to wildlife management has focused on single species--historically game species and more recently threatened and endangered species. Newer approaches to managing for multiple species and biological diversity include managing coarse filters, ecological indicator species, indicator guilds, and use of species-habitat matrices. Such modeling approaches each have strong as well as weak points, including conflicts among objectives for species with disparate needs. The authors present three case examples of integrating management for single species with management for multiple species and ecosystems: managing elk habitat in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon; managing for sustainable native fish faunas in eastern Oregon and Washington; and managing plant and animal species closely associated with old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest.
