The impacts of roads on natural systems (habitat fragmentation, interruption of natural flows of water, and disturbances to animals, plants, soils, and other resources) were not well understood or considered. Lack of awareness about these factors led to a largely antagonistic perception of the relationships between natural systems and road systems. Habitat fragmentation creates landscapes made of altered habitats or developed areas fundamentally different from those shaped by natural disturbances that species have adapted to over evolutionary time (Noss and Cooperrider in Meffe et al. ). Adverse effects of habitat fragmentation to both wildlife populations and species include.
Natural Disturbances. Natural disturbances are one way an ecosystem can become unbalanced. As the name implies, natural disturbances have natural causes, such as weather, geological forces, or. A clear understanding of natural disturbance is a prerequisite for emulating natural disturbance within the forest landscape. In addition to adopting an acceptable set of terms and concepts related to disturbance, we must understand how human and the forest’s natural disturbance regimes function.

This variable, referred to as the disturbance departure and fragmentation index, is a spatially explicit measure of landscape quality and resiliency.

The Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (ICBEMP) was chartered, in part, to develop an overall assessment of ecosystems within the interior Columbia River basin (hereafter, Basin) 1 (), to determine their status and trend, and to describe the ecological risks and opportunities associated with federal management activities, see Haynes et al.

All of these have made the study of ―fragmentation‖ a ―panchreston‖. Lindenmayer & Fischer, ,p.2). To describe the disturbance, we should add that Natural disturbance occurs in a wide variety of biomes, affecting both animals and plants, thus disturbance deals with biotic and vitality.
Fragmentation also decreases the area of interior habitat (Figure ). Interior habitat is the area far enough from the edge to maintain communities of the original larger habitat. For example, when large tracts of sage/grassland are cleared and seeded into grasses or alfalfa, sage/grassland patch size and interior habitat are reduced.
One major interest in soil systems ecology is to maintain ecosystem functions. As soil is exposed to disturbances of different spatial configurations, identifying disturbance characteristics that still allow for maintaining functions is crucial.
In macro-ecology, the influence of fragmentation on ecosystems is continuously debated, especially in terms of extinction thresholds on the landscape. marily of oil and natural gas in this area.

Known as bioregional. Ecosystems and landscapes depend on “natural” disturbances: • Natural disturbances perform critical functions (e.g., nutrient recycling) that maintain ecosystem/landscape structure and processes (e.g., initiating succession).
Many forest species, for example, persist only because of periodic disturbances. For example, without. Todd J. Hawbaker received his B.S. degree in animal ecology in from Iowa State University. After receiving his B.S., he worked for a couple of years burning and restoring tallgrass prairie in southwestern Minnesota and then pursued graduate school.
Landscape ecology has been defined in various ways partly because the word ‘landscape’ means quite different things to people with different scientific and cultural backgrounds.
Landscapes are spatial mosaics of interacting biophysical and socioeconomic components (Figure 1).Just as in other ecological disciplines, a spectrum of views exists as to the relative salience or prominence of the.
The greatest extent of alteration to natural fire regimes has occurred in forests that historically had an understory fire regime. These forests are ponderosa pine and some mixed conifer forest types in the East Cascades, Blue Mountains, and eastern (interior) portion of the Klamath Mountains ecoregions.
Human intervention, particularly fire. Abstract. As we stated in our introduction, this collection of chapters was intended to characterize human disturbance in relation to the fragmentation of American landscapes and to help integrate concepts from several disciplines including ecology, anthropology, theoretical ecology, and conservation biology, all of which are necessary in order to create a common and comprehensive framework.
allowing them to cut timber if doing so restores natural ecological conditions and fire regimes. FACT: Roadless Forests are not where fires are burning or likely to burn in Utah.
Out of o fires that occurred in Utah between and75% started outside of National Forest lands and less than 10% originated in Roadless Areas.Hann WJ, Wisdom MJ, Rowland MM (b) Disturbance departure and fragmentation of natural systems in the Interior Columbia Basin.

We describe an analytical framework that uses geographic information systems (GIS) to aid in examining the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of proposed oil and gas development alternatives.
