Excerpt from White-Tailed Deer in Eastern Ecosystems: Implications for Management and Research in National Parks The issues of deer and vegetation and their management in the national parks of the eastern United States are of enormous ecological and social complexity. These issues present challenges no less difficult than those of elk and vegetation in the western United States. In recognition of this complexity, the National Park Service (nps) commissioned a series of field studies to learn about deer and vegetation through original research. The National Park Service also commissioned several reviews to provide park staff with greater access to this knowledge. This report is one product of those efforts. What we know about deer and vegetation is examined, with the intent of clarifying the issues and thinking about them in an ecosystem context. Much of our scientific understanding of deer and vegetation is based on detailed studies, with an emphasis on statistical technique. This review attempts to minimize detail and focus on the take home messages from the research and on their application to management. This document is written for the National Park Service as background material for evaluating management alternatives. While this report is intended primarily for managers and administrators, we expect that many people concerned about parks will find this material useful.

Easily the most common of America’s large wildlife species, white-tailed deer are often referred to as "overabundant." But when does a species cross the threshold from common to overpopulated? This question has been the focus of debate in recent years among hunters, animal rights activists, and biologists. William McShea and his colleagues explore every aspect of the issue in The Science of Overabundance. Are there really too many deer? Do efforts to control deer populations really work? What broader lessons can we learn from efforts to understand deer population dynamics? Through twenty-three chapters, the editors and contributors dismiss widely held lore and provide solid information on this perplexing problem.

For most of the last century, range management meant managing land for livestock. How well a landowner grew the grass that cattle ate was the best measure of success. In this century, landowners look to hunting and wildlife viewing for income; rangeland is now also wildlife habitat, and they are managing their land not just for cattle but also for wildlife, most notably deer and quail. Unlike other books on white-tailed deer in places where rainfall is relatively high and the environment stable, this book takes an ecological approach to deer management in the semiarid lands of Oklahoma, Texas, and northern Mexico. These are the least productive of white-tail habitats, where periodic drought punctuates long-term weather patterns. The book's focus on this landscape across political borders is one of its original and lasting contributions. Another is its contention that good management is based on ecological principles that guide the manager's thinking about: Habitat Requirements of White-Tailed Deer White-Tailed Deer Nutrition Carrying Capacity Habitat Manipulation Predators Hunting Timothy Edward Fulbright is a Regents Professor and the Meadows Professor in Semiarid Land Ecology at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

This bibliography was compiled to partially update and include references previously cited in the "Management of the White-tailed Deer in North America". Excluded from this revision are generally accounts with no apparent, new contribution to management, regional population data, annual kill reports, articles on diseases and parasites, taxonomic and physiologic studies, and mimeographed material not easily obtainable. Most of the main forestry and wildlife periodicals and the indexing publications such as Biological Abstracts, Wildlife Review, and Dissertation Abstracts are covered. Abbreviations used follow, in general, those approved for the Journal of Wildlife Management.

The white-tailed deer is one of the most studied animals in North America, yet much of the available information has been derived in ecosystems different from the Black Hills. The Black Hills are unique in that the dominant species, ponderosa pine, has excellent regenerative abilities. This attribute, combined with timber management practices and fire suppression efforts in the last century, has allowed pine to expand at the expense of other plant communities. A critical first step in maintaining viable white-tailed deer populations in the Black Hills is identifying key winter ranges. Given that protein and energy are limiting in winter forages in this region, the emphasis of management on these ranges should be to enhance forage quality and quantity. Prescribed burning and timber harvest can be used to enhance the forage base. Grazing systems designed to remove livestock from these key winter ranges before late summer will provide a greater portion of the woody plants for deer use. Research needs focus on understanding how changes in Black Hills community patterns have influenced deer foraging strategies and habitat use, and on the need for ecologically based techniques to maintain consistent forage quality. Addressing these needs in an ecosystem framework will result in habitat for not only deer, but also for a multitude of other animal and plant species.

This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.
