...…recent climatic changes have been linked to changes in amphibian populations and phenologies, Conservation Biology Volume 24, No. 1, 2010 only a few researchers have attempted to project potential future impacts of climate change on amphibians (e.g., Thomas et al. 2004; Araújo et al. 2006)....

...Environmental change will often harm populations that are poorly suited to the new conditions, which can lead to population declines, extirpation, and extinction (e.g., Green, Cornell, Scharlemann, & Balmford, 2005; Pörtner & Knust, 2007; Thomas et al., 2004)....

...For many areas of the American West, particularly riparian areas and other areas of high biodiversity, significantly reducing or eliminating ungulate stressors should, over time, result in the recovery of self-sustaining and ecologically robust ecosystems (Kauffman and others 1997; Floyd and others 2003; Allington and Valone 2010; Fig....

...Historical and on-going ungulate use has affected soils, vegetation, wildlife, and water resources on vast expanses of public forests, shrublands, and grasslands across the American West in ways that are likely to accentuate any climate impacts on these resources....

...Public lands in the American West provide important opportunities to implement such a strategy for three reasons: (1) despite a history of degradation, public lands still offer the best available opportunities for ecosystem restoration (CWWR 1996; FS and BLM 1997; Karr 2004); (2) two-thirds of the runoff in the West originates on public lands (Coggins and others 2007); and (3) ecosystem protection and restoration are consistent with laws governing public lands....
