Species distribution model for piping plover on New Jersey’s Atlantic Coast, 2007-2012 This dataset represents a species distribution model for piping plover (Charadrius melodus) on New Jersey’s Atlantic coast and was created as part of the Protection of Critical Beach Habitat project. In addition to piping plover, this project includes species distribution models for piping plover (Charadrius melodus), least tern (Sternula antillarum), and American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus). All species models can be found in the Data Basin gallery Protection of Critical Beach-nesting Bird Habitats in the Wake of Severe Coastal Storms.Species distribution modeling was conducted to examine the influence of landscape scale variables and beach management strategies on bird breeding habitat suitability.

Model outputs were composed of Ecological Drainage Units (EDUs), each of which was assigned a resulting mean predicted occurrence probability. The study region was determined by the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV) and represents the native range of the species on the East Coast. The polygons of interest were derived from the NHD plus dataset, with local catchments located at least 90% within the study region boundary.

A variety of tactical mechanical methods to treat conifer trees that are encroaching on and out-competing aspen stands. Mechanical treatments are completed with prescribed fire. The project goal is to treat 9,000 acres over 10 years.

The project will consist of individual spot treatments spraying of the seedling, young and mature salt cedar plants, and cutting (chain saw or other methods of cutting down) the larger mature salt cedar plants and swabbing the stumps with herbicides. Herbicides used need to be on the BLM approved chemical list and label followed for applications.

The intent would be to utilize the area (approximatley 10,000 acres) for a forage reserve to be used as alternate/temporary forage for livestock moved from other areas undergoing habitat improvement projects. In addition, the unit presently has no fences and is experiencing unauthorized livestock use from adjacent BLM and FS lands. Livestock grazing would only occur outside the Bridger Wilderness portion of this unit. The Unit could provide approximately 2.5 months grazing for 150 cow/calf pairs.

Prevent the successful establishment of noxious weed species not yet established on National Forest System lands in the Greys River Ranger District. 2. Prevent the successful establishment of new infestations of spotted knapweed, leafy spurge, yellow toadflax, and Dyer’s woad beyond existing perimeters along roads, trails, and adjoining lands, and either eliminate existing patches or reduce the density of noxious weed densities to a point in which a native plant diversity...

Animals either have to go around the fence, which brings the altered trail close to two state highways on either end of the fence; or animals must attempt to fight their way through this non-wildlife friendly fence, increasing their opportunity to become entangled in the fence. With the conversion of this 17 miles of sheep and barbed wire to wildlife friendly fencing, animal migration will be restored to a more historical route and death and injuries associated with the fence will be reduced.

Treatment will consist of aerial and ground application of herbicide to remove saltcedar from the area. This is potentially threatened Western yellow-billed cuckoo habitat which is being severely degraded with invasive saltcedar. It is also home to wild horses, deer, elk, antelope, and many other wildlife species, as well as one of the headwaters of many sensitive fish species downstream.
