Edge Effects on Avian Diversity and Density of Native Grass Conservation Buffers
Conservation Reserve Program Conservation Practice 33 (CP33: Conservation Buffers for Upland Birds) provides habitat for grassland birds in agriculture-dominated landscapes. However, landscape context and adjacency of other land covers may influence colonization, occupancy, and reproductive performance of breeding grassland birds in buffers. Our objective was to determine how edge effects influ...
متن کاملGrassland bird response to enhanced vegetation diversity in restoration plantings in the Spring Run Complex of northwestern Iowa
Loss of habitat is one of the primary factors affecting population declines of grassland birds, and recovery efforts have focused on increasing the amount of grassland habitat in the landscape. Assessing the value of habitat restorations for grassland birds is an essential component of grassland bird conservation. We compared grassland bird habitat use, reproductive success, nestling growth rat...
متن کاملInterspecific Variation in Habitat Preferences of Grassland Birds Wintering in Southern Pine Savannas
—We studied wintering grassland bird communities in De Soto National Forest in southern Mississippi, USA to assess differences in bird communities and vegetation structure among different stand types. We also examined which vegetation structure and plant species predicted occurrence of Bachman’s Sparrow (Peucaea aestivalis), Henslow’s Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii), and Sedge Wren (Cistothorus ...
متن کاملHabitat acquisition strategies for grassland birds in an urbanizing landscape.
Habitat protection for grassland birds is an important component of open space land acquisition in suburban Chicago. We use optimization decision models to develop recommendations for land protection and analyze tradeoffs between alternative goals. One goal is to acquire (and restore if necessary) as much grassland habitat as possible for a given budget. Because a viable habitat for grassland b...
متن کاملImportance of Spatial Scale to Habitat Use by Breeding Birds in Riparian Forests: a Hierarchical Analysis
Patterns of habitat use by breeding birds were studied in cottonwood riparian forests along 100 km of the South Fork of the Snake River in southeastern Idaho, United States, from 1991 to 1994. A hierarchical approach was used to examine habitat use at three spatial scales: microhabitat (local vegetation characteristics), macrohabitat (cottonwood forest patch characteristics), and landscape (com...
