1 - Do nothing = Status quo Alternatives 2 - Improve habitat = Conduct prescribed burning and/or mechanical control in poor condition habitats on federal lands to remove or thin overstory and encourage herbaceous plants Model Assumption: Only apply treatment to subset of poor patches per year due to operational constraints and only about 70% of burns will likely be “successful” (e.g. consistent vs. patchy fuels, burn conditions, etc.). 3 - Reduce predation = Remove non-native predators (cats) from federal lands Model Assumption: Trapping effort is successful in removing large majority of cats. 4 - Improve habitat & reduce predation = Combination of above
