[Full Title: Grus canadensis, Grus canadensis canadensis, Grus canadensis nesiotes, Grus canadensis pratensis, Grus canadensis pulla, Grus canadensis rowani, Grus canadensis tabida (sandhill crane, lesser sandhill crane, Cuban sandhill crane, Florida sandhill crane, Mississippi sandhill crane, Canadian sandhill crane, greater sandhill crane)] This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Grus canadensis, Grus canadensis canadensis, Grus canadensis nesiotes, Grus canadensis pratensis, Grus canadensis pulla, Grus canadensis rowani, Grus canadensis tabida (sandhill crane, lesser sandhill crane, Cuban sandhill crane, Florida sandhill crane, Mississippi sandhill crane, Canadian sandhill crane, greater sandhill crane) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species' taxonomy, distribution, basic biology, and general management. This species review can be used for fire management, restoration planning, NEPA documents, and postfire rehabilitation planning. It may also be helpful in wildlife and habitat management, and as a source of information on the general ecology of individual species.
