Detection and Analysis of Open Space Change in Yavapai and Southern Mohave Counties, Arizona
Big game in the Southwestern United States have been threatened by loss of open space habitat - losses both in total amount of habitat and quality of habitat. The Arizona Game and Fish Department has identified the need to quantify change in open space in areas that are habitat for large ungulates (elk, desert bighorn, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and white-tailed deer). In Yavapai and southern Mohave Counties of central-western Arizona human development has fragmented ungulate habitat; however, the amount and location of fragmentation has not been documented. Also, conversion of ranch lands to non-grazing uses may be accompanied by changes in state and federal lands due to changes in grazing allotment allocations.
