What are the differences between site-specific meadow management plans, an adaptive management study, and Critical Aquatic Refuge designation relative to Yosemite toads?

Site-specific stock management plans are locally developed by interdisciplinary teams to allow field mangers to manage, based on site conditions and characteristics that cannot be foreseen at a regional scale. These plans are part of on-going grazing program management and require a monitoring plan. These discretionary actions provide local flexibility to capitalize on opportunities to reduce the adverse effect of excluding grazing from occupied Yosemite toad habitat. (ROD page 11) A cause and effect adaptive management study is a more rigorous approach to learning about the effects of grazing on Yosemite Toad habitat and populations to be developed collaboratively with PSW scientists, affected permittees and local managers. The Implementation Team is conducting an assessment of adaptive management direction in the 2004 ROD and expects to initiate development of the Yosemite Toad Adaptive Management study plan.
