متن کاملEffects of Prescribed Burns on Wintering Cavity-Nesting Birds
Primary cavity-nesting birds play a critical role in forest ecosystems by excavating cavities later used by other birds and mammals as nesting or roosting sites. Several species of cavity-nesting birds are non-migratory residents and consequently subject to winter conditions. We conducted winter bird counts from 1998 to 2000 to examine the abundance and habitat association of cavity-nesting bir...
متن کاملSnags as Indicators of Habitat Suitability for Open Nesting Birds
--The habitat requirements of open nesting birds were examined in 19, five hectare, plots arranged along an altitudinal gradient in western Montana. Seven, mature forest birds were examined in detai 1. Percent shrub and low canopy cover {0.5-1.5m), mid-canopy cover {8-25m), and the number of large diameter stems {25-50 em dbh) were of major importance to this avian co11111unity. Increased avian...
متن کاملAre There Snags in the System? Comparing Cavity Use among Nesting Birds in “Snagrich”and “Snag-poor” Eastside PineForests1
We compared the density of snags, snags with cavities, and cavity-nesting bird use at two sites in northern California: Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest, a site with large trees and large snags because of protection from logging, contrasted with the Goosenest Adaptive Management Area, where a century of logging left this forest with few large trees and snags. Indeed, there was a threefold di...
متن کاملSoil carbon and nitrogen content and stabilization in mid-rotation,intensively managed sweetgum and loblolly pine stands
Intensive forestry has resulted in considerable increases in aboveground stand productivity including foliar and belowground biomass which are the primary sources of soil organic matter. Soil organic matter is important for the maintenance of soil physical, chemical and biological quality. Additionally, sequestering carbon (C) in soils may provide a means of mitigating increasing atmospheric ca...
