Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

Creator:: Ellis, Tana M.
Abstract:: Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...
