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

Impacts of Military Training and Land Management on Threatened and Endangered Species in the Southeastern Fall Line Sandhills Communities
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This research evaluated effects of military training activities and forest management for the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) on the sustainability of Fall Line sandhills plant communities and associated threatened, endangered and sensitive (TES) plant species. The primary goals were to identify current management conditions for the sandhills communities on military installations and other federal lands, to assess tradeoffs and potential conflicts among species habitat sensitivities, and to provide recommendations to optimize land management objectives. The overall objectives were: (1) at the landscape scale, to assess whether military training and forest management of longleaf pine woodlands to promote RCW habitat (single species management) are appropriate for managing sandhills communities; and (2) at the species level, to determine how combinations of forest management and training activities affect individual TES species, including rare sandhills plants.

Pages : 59
Book Description
The United States Department of Defense has more than four hundred military bases across the country. They are used to house and train personnel, keep watch of enemies, support allies, and . . . protect America's plant and animal species. The Sikes Act of 1960 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 require military bases to collaborate with federal land management agencies to protect the endangered or at-risk species within their borders. On Eglin Air Force Base, scientists and soldiers work together to study and manage endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers, gopher tortoises, and reticulated flatwoods salamanders. Discover the unique challenges endangered species face and the work the military is doing to protect them.
