Roads and motorized trails can fragment landscapes and reduce the quality of adjacent habitat for a wide range of wildlife species. This report demonstrates an approach for assessing the influences of the extent and configuration of motorized route networks on habitat quality for fishers (Martes pennanti) in Sierra National Forest, in the central Sierra Nevada range of California.
This report summarizes existing research on habitat fragmentation and provides recommendations to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on how it can incorporate habitat fragmentation analysis into its travel management planning process.
