摘要

The intermountain region of the western United States is undergoing ecological change in part due to exotic annual grasses such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). The introduction and spread of cheatgrass effectively decreases native plant communities, increases wildfire intensity and spatial extent, and indirectly affects watersheds, water quality, and livestock grazing. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) currently engages in Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ES&R) programs in an attempt to provide short-term, high-intensity seeding treatments aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of wildfire on public lands. This study developed and tested a GIS weights-of-evidence model using BLM criteria for successful ES&R treatments within the Elko BLM district of northeastern Nevada. Regional factors were used to evaluate successful ES&R treatments for the period of 2000-2003. Model variables included elevation, slope, aspect, land cover, bioavailable calcium carbonate, soil pH, soil organic content and soil texture. The final output was a model that indicated the probability of future ES&R treatment success based upon past ES&R treatment successes and their correlation with model variables. Results indicated strong correlations with several model variables including slope, bioavailable calcium carbonate, and elevation. The model was a good predictor of successful ES&R treatments with a Prediction Rate Curve (PRC) of 86% area under the curve, as well as a good discriminator between ES&R successes and failures with a Receiver-Operating-Characteristic Curve (ROC) of 77.3% area under the curve. This model can be used as an effective tool by land managers in planning future ES&R treatments within the Elko BLM district, and the weights-of-evidence modeling approach has applicability elsewhere in the state. The success of this model at predicting successful and discriminating between successful and unsuccessful treatments suggest that coarse scale models using regional based terrain and soil characteristics can be used by land managers for decision making in the absence of fine scale processes based models.
