Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative CMQ #3

Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The Steering Committee of the Desert LCC has selected six critical management questions (see: http://www.usbr.gov/dlcc/resources/docs/DLCCCMQs.pdf) as their current science priorities. Critical Management Question (CMQ) 3 is: ¿What and where are the greatest threats to native desert grassland and shrubland conservation targets (e.g., endangered species, migratory birds, other species of concern)? Where are desert grassland and shrubland habitats resilient and where are priority areas with high potential for restoration? What are the most appropriate management and restoration techniques for desert grassland and shrubland habitats for conservation targets, site-specific conditions (e.g., soil type, precipitation, elevation, slope, invasive species), and socio-economic constraints?¿ This request for proposals addresses an aspect of Critical Management Question 3 (as described below). The geographic focus for this project is the US and Mexico portion of the Desert LCC geography.
