A Community-Based Regional Plan for Managing Threatened and Endangered Species on Military Installations in the Southeastern United States

摘要: Abstract : The conservation and management of threatened endangered species (TES) their habitats are major issues on Department Defense (DoD) installations throughout the United States. development TES plans implementation practices have traditionally been conducted a species-by-species basis. However, within DoD there has recent shift toward ecosystem-based management, emphasis is being placed managing lands for multiple rather than single interest. This study represents an attempt to develop regionalized, community-based approach that compatible with military mission guidelines. southeastern States was selected prototype plan because region contains large number installations, many which manage resources variety sensitive species. report synthesis information provided in detail Plant Community Management Plans, Faunal Species Profiles, other documents prepared study. These should be used collectively identify understand characteristics, quality indicators, functions, land uses, potential impacts associated communities support diversity Southeast. Topics summarized this report, include characterization plant communities, discussion components, considerations (e.g., forestry practices, fire land-use conversion, hydrology erosion sedimentation control, wildlife control nuisance species). It hoped will provide basis preparation installation community Southeast, it serve as template programs regions.
