Loss of Important Habitat Elements Sample Clauses

Loss of Important Habitat Elements. (down woody debris). Slash from felled hazard trees would be removed wherever necessary within the 1,789 acre project area (along roads and at recreation sites). This down woody material would be lost as cover and habitat for prey species. Removal of felled trees would reduce the amount of down woody debris available to wildlife in some areas. Felled trees would be retained where needed to meet the required minimum of 10 to 20 tons per acre of logs greater than 12 inches in diameter (GSNM Management Plan, p.87). Habitat quality for Northern goshawks, great gray owls, California spotted owls, Sierra martens and fishers may be reduced, depending on the number, location and specific characteristics of the material removed. Given the large home range sizes for these species, the loss of down woody material in a small portion of that home range is unlikely to threaten their survival. Habitat near developed campgrounds, organizational camps, and roads is already of lower quality for Northern goshawks, spotted owls, Sierra martens and fishers because of disturbance, habitat fragmentation, edge effects and collisions (Xxxxxx et al. 2003). Nest and roost sites are less likely to be near roads because of disturbance. For example, Xxxxxxxx et al. (2010) found that California spotted owls nested away from edge habitats. So the removal of down woody material would occur in areas of less valuable habitat than if this were to occur in the middle of a forested stand.
