Relationship between landscape structure and avian abundance patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

McGarigal, Kevin

Abstract:

Human-induced fragmentation of forests is increasing, yet the consequences of these landscape changes to vertebrate communities are poorly understood. Despite progress in our understanding of how bird communities respond to forest fragmentation caused by agricultural or urban development, we have little understanding of these dynamics in landscapes undergoing intensive forest...

Bird-habitat relationships at multiple spatial resolutions in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Brooks, Jonathan P.

Abstract:

I analyzed the relationship between avian abundance and landscape structure at five spatial resolutions for 30 subbasins in the central Oregon Coast Range using remotely sensed data and a geographic information system (GIS). I developed maps of forest successional stages from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data at a spatial resolution...
