Greater Yellowstone is described as the last large, nearly intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone of the earth (Reese 1984;Keiter and Boyce 1991.) Conflict over management has been controversial, and the area is a flagship site among conservation groups that aggressivley promote ecosystem management (Greater Yellowstone Coalition 1992). The Greater Yellow Ecosystem (GYE) is one of the world's foremost natural laboratories in landscape ecology and geology and is a world-renowned recreational site (Knight 1994)
