摘要：	Land managers of military installations are required to provide a natural environment for military training. At the same time they must meet the Army's commitment to conserving natural resources and threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. To meet these goals, military land managers must gather information on plants, animals, and natural communities on their installations in order to make sound management decisions that conserve natural resources while maintaining training schedules. This study was conducted on Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), an Army installation of some 63,000 acres in the upper Ozarks of Missouri. The primary objective of the study was to survey for Federally and state-listed rare and endangered plant and animals and exemplary natural communities. Surveys were conducted for crayfish, freshwater mussels, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, plants, and exemplary natural communities between October 1993 and October 1995. No Federally endangered or threatened species were found on FLW during this survey; however, 24 species of conservation concern were located. Surveys of natural communities indicated that few high quality natural communities remain on this installation. Management strategies emphasizing landtype associations (i.e., bottomland forests, savanna, upland forests) were developed to enhance natural communities associated with these landtype associations.
