Avian Species Richness in Relation to Intensive Forest Management Practices in Early Seral Tree Plantations

Creator:

Jones, Jay E., Kroll, Andrew J., Giovanini, Jack, Duke, Steven D., Ellis, Tana M., and Betts, Matthew G.

Abstract:

•Background: Managers of landscapes dedicated to forest commodity production require information about how practices influence biological diversity. Individual species and communities may be threatened if management practices truncate or simplify forest age classes that are essential for reproduction and survival. For instance, the degradation and loss of complex diverse forest...

Mapping Migratory Bird Prevalence Using Remote Sensing Data Fusion

Creator:

Swatantran, Anu, Dubayah, Ralph, Goetz, Scott, Hofton, Michelle, Betts, Matthew G., Sun, Mindy, Simard, Marc, and Holmes, Richard

Abstract:

Background: Improved maps of species distributions are important for effective management of wildlife under increasing anthropogenic pressures. Recent advances in lidar and radar remote sensing have shown considerable potential for mapping forest structure and habitat characteristics across landscapes. However, their relative efficacies and integrated use in habitat mapping remain largely...
