| dc.description.abstract | Alpine meadows are delicate ecosystems that are being
damaged and declining. In Yosemite only 3% of the park is considered meadow habitat. Through this thesis I am exploring the question; how can we conserve these alpine meadows? To discover this I will research and collect data to understand these underlying questions. What is the major cause of alpine meadow decline? What are the aspects of a healthy alpine meadow? Can there be human interaction with alpine meadows without further destruction, and if so how? These questions cumulatively help show what is needed
to restore an alpine meadow, and what is the best way to go
about conserving. Then once a meadow is restored it will show how human interaction can be promoted without damage to the alpine environment. This thesis will help to
allow for a more efficient educational and recreational
conservation design of these alpine meadow natural landscapes, and a future amplification of conservation. | en_US |
