Grant Description: This cooperative agreement will conduct research to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the outcome of 500 m x 500 m plots conducted in the spring versus the fall for the desert tortoise and conduct presence/absence transects at the Yermo Annex Test Track which is approximately 100 acres. This information, collected during a statistically valid research study, will help desert tortoise scientists determine if collecting research data on tortoise plots is better done in the spring or fall. The results of this research could lead to changes in the desert tortoise survey protocol for the southwestern United States. Additional knowledge of the population will assist MCLB Barstow with management of the habitat on the range and help avoid operational conflicts with this threatened species. Comparison to previous work may indicate if this population is stable, or declining. A draft and final report with GIS maps would be the final deliverable.
