Notes

The state of the vegetation in the Piute Valley Tortoise Management Area (TMA) ranges from moderately disturbed to highly disturbed. Past land uses that contributed to disturbance include: 1) grazing; 2) off-highway vehicle (OHV) use; 3) mining; and, 4) road clearing for transmission line and pipeline construction. This report presents the findings from a rare and sensitive plant inventory survey that was undertaken in the Piute Valley TMA between April and June of 1992, to determine the distribution and abundance of Federal candidate taxa identified for potential listing as threatened or endangered. Sensitive plant taxa of state or local interest were also inventoried. The four vegetation communities surveyed are: creosote-bursage scrub, mixed Mojave shrubland, blackbrush, and pinyon-juniper woodland, all of which intergrade with one another.
