a. Develop a regional map showing the highest probability pathways of wildfire spread under current conditions.b. Design regional networks of fuel breaks to reduce future wildfire size in large remnant tracts of priority GSG habitat. Networks will be designed by modeling fire spread with fuel breaks using Circuitscape (http://www.Circuitscape.org/), a wildlife connectivity software based on electrical circuit theory applied to a raster map, and consulting with agencies and tribes about regional priority habitats in southern ID and OR, northern NV,and northwestern UT.c. Deliver GIS layers and maps showing suggested networks of fuel breaks to federal and state agencies, and tribes. This will allow fire managers to...

This proposal adds sagebrush and PJ dependent birds and small mammals to an ongoing collaborative (NDOW, USFWS, NPS) 4-year study entitled Measuring the regional impacts of pinyon and juniper removal on insect, bat, and reptile communities, examining the nontarget ecological impacts of pinyon and juniper (PJ) removal across the Great Basin ecosystem of northern Nevada. Using a BACI design, one study site is the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge.
