The BLM CA CESU is offering this grant to conduct comprehensive ecological research and monitoring within the Carrizo Plain ecosystem. This grant is for the purpose of assessing the area’s biodiversity and overall environmental health. Researchers will undertake a variety of field tasks, including determining plant composition and biomass, collecting soil samples, and conducting detailed mark-recapture surveys for species like giant kangaroo rats and San Joaquin antelope squirrels. Other activities involve line transects for reptiles and grasshoppers, invertebrate collection, bird point counts, and spotlight surveys for nocturnal predators. Additionally, kit fox scat will be collected for diet analysis. The project aims to gather critical data, with the potential to expand focus to include the effects of climate change on the ecosystem.
