Evaluation of upland nesting cover preliminary report. JF Giroux
Material type:
TextPublication details: MB/SK/AB/ND/SD : 1980Online resources: Abstract: This paper presents a method of evaluating upland nesting cover in the vicinity of impoundments located in the Prairie provinces. The method integrates concepts of land use, plant communities and habitat types. I attempted to develop a system that will quanitify upland cover with a minimum of subjectivity and with a limited amount of field work. I consider that a potential number of nests for different types of upland nesting cover is more meaningful to interpret variation in the number of breeding pairs or in the use of artificial islands than the actural size of the area covered by these types.
