"abstract": "For natural resource managers in the southern Sierra Nevada, giant sequoia requires very little \nintroduction. It receives great attention as an icon of western forests and as a common namesake \nwith the areas where it occurs. While it is a single component of a very complex system, its \nattention in this assessment and in general is well deserved. Giant sequoia is one of the few \n\"destination species\" that attracts a wide swath of the public by nature of it simply being present. \nIt draws people, who otherwise may not travel, to a natural environment. The result is an \nexpansion of the public\u2019s sense of natural resource stewardship. Because park managers could \nnot achieve their mission without public support, this fostering role of giant sequoia is critical for \npark natural resources and is important for natural resources in general.\n\nDespite its social relevance and physical size, we re-emphasize here that the giant sequoia \nresource is a relatively small component of the ecosystems of the southern Sierra Nevada. As is \nthe case with all of the resources assessed in the NRCA, we focus on giant sequoia with the \nunderstanding that other resources will be considered simultaneously when evaluating \nmanagement decisions that impact giant sequoia. While we attempt to explicitly address the \ninteraction of giant sequoia with other resources and stressors, we also realize that ultimately \nmanagers will integrate much more information than is presented here when making decisions \nthat influence giant sequoia. \n\nThe autecology and management issues surrounding giant sequoia have been thoroughly \nreviewed elsewhere (Harvey et al. 1980, Aune 1994, Stephenson 1996). Stephenson (1996), in \nparticular, should be reviewed when considering any management decisions that potentially \nimpact giant sequoia. For those who may not be familiar with giant sequoia ecology, a summary \nof basic information is provided in a table below. In some parts of this assessment, we reproduce \ntext from Stephenson\u2019s review because it is still relatively current for addressing some of the\nstressors. Numerous recent studies reported since 1996 have confirmed and expanded the \nunderstanding of giant sequoia, especially in areas related to ecophysiology and the effectiveness\nof restoration treatments. These recent studies are integrated into this assessment. Additionally, \nmuch unpublished work has been done that is useful for establishing baselines and evaluating \ntrends. This work is presented in detail in order to expand upon previous work and to inform the \nfinal assessments. Instead of providing an introductory description of giant sequoia distribution \nand the various landowners who manage groves, we refer readers to the more recent descriptions \nprovided by Stephenson (1996) and Willard (2000). Some of the relevant points from these \ndescriptions with respect to giant sequoia within SEKI and Giant Sequoia National Monument \n(GSNM) include:\n\n- Of the native giant sequoia grove area in SEKI and GSNM approximately 38% is within \nSEKI and 62% is within GSNM.\n\n- 35 of the groves that make up the entire population are all or partially managed by SEKI\nand 33 are managed by GSNM.\n\n- As we have done above, reviewers addressing giant sequoia widely recognize its \ntranscendence beyond an ecologically important species to one with considerable added \ncultural value.",
