“…Fager (1991) found that during the spring in western Montana, marten resting site structures were re-used from one to six times, which is consistent with my findings. The majority of my sites were re-used only once;…”

“…In addition to these standard USFS measurements, I declared a site either mesic or xeric according to Warren ( 1989 ) and counted total snags >12.7 cm DBH within a 0.04 ha plot (Fager 1991 hours after a snowfall. These transects were run in an effort to determine the efficiency of track transects as a marten density index (Thompson et al 1989).…”

others of the MDFWP were extremely helpful in providing equipment and assistance of all sorts on a timely basis. Dr. Lynn Irby and Dr. Rick Douglass provided valuable field assistance and insight throughout the project. I would also like to thank Dr. Harold Picton and Dr. Thomas McMahon for their editing contributions. Joe Clemmens, Roland Whitman, and others contributed valuable harvest information. A special note of appreciation goes out to Ken Coffin for his consistent and accurate data collection and to Craig Fager who laid most of the groundwork for the entire project.

Concentrations of arsenic and metals in soils surrounding a smelter in southwest Montana were correlated with vegetative community structure and composition and wildlife habitat quality. Soils in the uplands surrounding the smelter were highly enriched with arsenic and metals. Concentrations of these analytes decreased with distance from the smelter and with soil depth, suggesting that the smelter is the source of the enrichment. In enriched areas, marked modifications to the native vegetation community structure and composition were observed. These included replacement of evergreen forest with bare unvegetated ground; species impoverishment and increased dominance by weed species in grasslands; and reductions in the vertical complexity of the habitat. Significant negative correlations existed between soil arsenic and metals concentrations and the extent of vegetative cover and the vertical diversity of plant communities. Loss of vegetative cover in the affected areas has been accompanied by reductions in their capacity to support indigenous wildlife populations.
