Range Investigations, Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Range Investigations, Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming, Vol. 1 The Bighorn National Forest is located in north central wyoming, being bounded on the north by the Montana state line (fig. The Forest is entirely within the Big Horn Mountains, although this mountain range extends A0 to 50 miles south and 10 miles north of the Forest boundary. As a result, not more than an estimated two - thirds of the mountain range is within the Forest. South of the Forest, the Big Horn Mountains join the high eastawest range of the Bridger and Owl Creek Mountains. North of the Forest boundary, the Big Horn Mountains end at the canyon of the Big Horn River, north of which the same uplift is contin...
Historic Range of Variability for Upland Vegetation in the Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming
An approach for synthesizing the results of ecological research pertinent to land management is the analysis of the historic range of variability (HRV) for key ecosystem variables that are affected by management activities. This report provides an HRV analysis for the upland vegetation of the Bighorn National Forest in northcentral Wyoming. The variables include live tree density, dead tree (snag) density, canopy cover, abundance of coarse woody debris, species diversity, fire return intervals, the abundance of various diseases, the proportion of the landscape in different land cover types, and the degree of patchiness in the landscape. The variables were examined at the stand and landscape scales, using information available in the literature and USFS databases. High-elevation landscapes were considered separately from low-elevation landscapes. Much of the report pertains to forests dominated by lodge-pole pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce at high elevations, and by ponderosa pine, aspen, and Douglas-fir at lower elevations. We defined the HRV reference period for the BNF as approximately 1600 to 1890.
The Volunteers
I feel safe riding my horse through the woods and over the meadows, assured that Jesus is near and watching over us. I hear him whispering in the light breeze that playfully tugs at my cowboy hat and repeatedly kisses my cheeks. His voice plays soft and assuring through moving tree branches and roars authoritatively in the thunder. He blesses us with the gift of sweet-smelling flowers that splash color over the meadows and the wildlife that unexpectedly appears before us. The vastness of rising mountain peaks stretching deep into the sky reminds us of his supreme creativity and great power. If you love nature and have thought about becoming a volunteer, you might consider the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. My husband and I had no idea our introduction to these stunning mountains in 1986 would change our lives forever. We had no choice. Each summer, the Bighorn Mountains kept luring us into the forest's secret world of mystery and adventure, begging us to become part of it. If the pine forest could speak, it would tell stories about the people that come and go, its history, conflicts, fires, accidents, legends, and adventures--all of which are included in this book.
