Figure 1. Study area in McCormick Creek Basin, Stanislaus National Forest, CA illustrating three range units for manipulating cattle, principal streamcourses, and distribution of the cattle and deer preferred meadow-riparian and aspen habitats, 1983-85. Habitat types interspersed throughout the basin were mosaics of meadow (mesic and hydric) and riparian areas, aspen {Populus tremuloides) stands, montane shrubfields, conifer forest, and timberline sagebrush {Artemisia rothrockii) scrub (Table 1). Additional descriptions of the 480 ha study area are available (Loft et al. 1987,1991; Kie et al. 1991). These previous studies indicated that deer and cattle preferred the relatively scarce meadow-riparian and aspen habitats more than the other available habitats. We divided the basin into three fenced range units [Unit 1 = 140 ha (346 ac), Unit 2 = 155 ha (383 ac), and Unit 3 = 185 ha (457 ac)] and rotated ungrazed, moderate grazing (approximating the management level of recent decades), and heavy grazing levels through each unit over the three summers. Stocking rates, based on acres of primary range (aspen, meadow, and riparian habitat) averaged AUM/ha and AUM/ha for moderate and heavy grazing, respectively. Hence, range units were.
