People and Resource Use: Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project

Abstract or Long Description:
From the report:

"Recent Population Growth
Population doubled in the Sierra Nevada between 1970 and 1990; 40% of the population growth occurred in the Sierra portion of just three counties: Nevada, Placer, and El Dorado."

"Population Forecasts
Official projections forecast that the 1990 Sierran population of 650,000 will triple by 2040."

"Biotic Vulnerability
The oak woodland communities of the western Sierra Nevada foothills are the most vulnerable of the widespread vegetation types as a result of greater access by humans and of their continuing potential for urban development."
