	Introduction to the Siskiyou National Forest
		The Siskiyou National Forest is located in the Klamath Mountains and the Coast Ranges of Southwestern Oregon with a small segment of the Forest extending into Northwestern California and the Siskiyou Mountain Range.
		The Siskiyou Forest Reserve was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, and the Reserve was designated as the Siskiyou National Forest in 1907.
		The Siskiyou Mountains are situated at a latitude that is subjected to weather of both arctic and tropical origin.

	Wildernet - Siskiyou National Forest
		The area is characterized by steep ridges and mountains, and is dominated by Red Buttes (6,739 feet) and Kangaroo Mountain (6,694 feet), the highest peaks in the area.
		The Siskiyou Wilderness is located in the highest portion of the Siskiyou Mountains in Northern California and is shared by three National Forests: the Klamath, the Six Rivers and the Siskiyou.
		The Siskiyou is headquartered in Grants Pass, to the east of the Forest along Interstate 5.

	KS Wild - Siskiyou Mountains Salamander
		Due to their need for moist climates, Siskiyou Mountains salamanders live in talus or rocky hillsides in the shade of late-successional or old-growth forests with closed canopies and moist microclimates.
		Siskiyou Mountains salamanders feed upon spiders, pseudoscorpions, mites, ants, collembolans (or ‘springtails’) and beetles on the surface at night.
		Since Siskiyou Mountains salamander activity is restricted to a cool, moist or rainy climate, determining their abundance is difficult.

	Tehachapi Mountains -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This dramatic incline downhill to the San Joaquin Valley floor is regionally referred to as The Grapevine because of the grapevines still found on the earlier route on the mountain slope next to the highway.
		The Tehachapis, though not a long or high mountain range as California mountain ranges go, are regarded by many Californians the dividing feature that separates northern California from southern California (though some contend that southern California extends as far north as the (additional info and facts about Fresno) Fresno area).
		Because the (additional info and facts about Ridge Route) Ridge Route auto highway was constructed across these mountains and the ranges south of it in the early 20th century, many historians say California averted a potential split into two separate states - North California and South California.

		The forests of the Siskiyou Mountains are fire dependent forests.
		This means that fire has, for thousands of years, passed through these forests and the plants and animals that comprise the living ecosystem have adapted to the regular occurrence of fire.

		The Siskiyou area is located in the Klamath Mountains and the Coast Range of Southwestern Oregon, with a small segment of the Forest extending into Northwestern California.
		The Siskiyou is the most floristically diverse National Forest in the country with some extraordinary botanical resources.

		The location of the "Pass of the Siskiyou," as noted by Gibbs in 1863, is of importance to determining the location of Alexander R.
		One of the earliest known discussions of the origins of the name "Siskiyou" was by J. Snyder in 1852, in his comments on the naming of the newly formed Siskiyou County (see Snyder 1852, see also Thornton 1973).
		In fact, this mountain was notorious as the worst part of their journey, for, about ten years before, our trappers, being overtaken by a violent storm, had lost on this very ground the whole of their furs and nearly three hundred horses" (pp.

	Siskiyou County Climate, Weather Information
		Siskiyou County has the typical hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters characteristic of Mediterranean climates.
		However, since the latitude of Siskiyou County (41° N to 42° N) is at the northern extreme of the Mediterranean climate zone and is in a mountainous region, we tend to have colder winters than the average Mediterranean region.
		The Klamath Mountains occupy the western portion of Siskiyou County.

		There are numerous lakes in Siskiyou County and six different rivers crisscross the land with a number of impressive waterfalls along the way.
		Modoc Indians roamed the mountains and forests before Euro-American prospectors began scrabbling in the county's river beds for gold in the middle of the nineteenth century.

		Whittaker, R.H. Vegetation of the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon and California.
		Distribution patterns of thirty-two xeric plant species occurring on isolated mountain tops west of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon suggest that they are relicts of a once widespread xeric flora which originated, first, in the Rogue River Valley, and secondly, on the plateaus of east-central Oregon.
		They have persisted on the mountain summits because of the arid and relatively warm conditions of the shallow soil and exposed dark rocks, and the consequent freedom from competitions with the surrounding mesic forest types.

		The discovery of gold in both Rogue and Shasta valleys in the 1840’s and 50’s brought more people over this crossing and soon there was a community known as the village of "Siskiyou." The peak growth of this village occurred during the construction of a railroad line 3 over the mountains in 1887.

		The Scott Bar salamander, classified as Plethodon asupak, had been considered to be a member of the Siskiyou Mountains salamander species, or Plethodon stormi, until genetic analysis showed a distinct evolutionary line, said Joseph Vaile of the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center in Ashland.

	Genetic Variation in the Siskiyou Mountains Salamander
		Despite the critical need for information on population size and movement of individuals among populations, this data is difficult to obtain directly for secretive animals such as the Siskiyou Mountains salamander with restricted daily and seasonal activity.
		The purpose of this research is to determine the genetic diversity in the Siskiyou Mountains salamander in order to estimate 1) the potential for independently evolving lineages, and 2) effective population sizes and migration rate of individuals among populations.
		Twenty individuals from 6 populations distributed throughout the range of the Siskiyou Mountains salamander were sampled and tissue from the tail tip of each animal was used for the analysis.

		KS Wild petitioned the Siskiyou Mountains Salamander and any distinct populations (including those that now represent this new species) for listing under the Endangered Species Act in June of last year.
		Protection under the Endangered Species Act for both the new species and the Siskiyou Mountains Salamander would provide essential habitat protection and ensure adequate resources are made available for recovery efforts.

	Small-mammal community study - Siskiyou Mountains
		The study site is located in a relatively undisturbed old growth Douglas-fir forest in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon, approximately 4-km southwest of Ashland along the east fork of Ashland Creek, T39S, R01E, Section 28 SE/SW, Willamette Meridian at ca.
		The riparian zone is dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) with some incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia), and white alder (Alnus rhombiflora) in the canopy (Figure 1).
		Similarity analysis between riparian and upland areas produced both a very low coefficient of community and quotient of similarity. In contrast to the other similarity results, percent similarity deviated from this trend and was found to be high (Table 3).
