  1. Songbird use of regenerating forest, glade, and edge habitat types

    Population numbers of many bird species associated with early-successional or disturbance-dependent habitat types are declining. We used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate hypotheses concerning factors affecting breeding bird densities in different early-successional habitat types. We studied shrubland bird communities in 3- to 5-year-old regenerating forest...

  2. Northern red oak volume growth on four northern Wisconsin habitat types

    Northern red oak (Quercus rubra) grows across much of Wisconsin. Using site factors to aid in prediction of volume and basal area increment facilitates management of red oak and other species of interest. Currently, habitat type (Wisconsin Habitat Type Classification System) is often determined when stands are inventoried. If habitat type were...

  3. Analysis of the 1996 Wisconsin forest statistics by habitat type.

    The fifth inventory of Wisconsin's forests is presented from the perspective of habitat type as a classification tool. Habitat type classifies forests based on the species composition of the understory plant community. Various forest attributes are summarized by habitat type and management implications are discussed.

  6. Habitat utilization, density, and growth of steelhead trout, coho salmon, and Pacific giant salamander in relation to habitat types in a small coastal redwood stream

    Abstract - Small Pacific northwestern coastal streams are nurseries for populations of young of the year coho salmon, steelhead trout, and the Pacific giant salamander larvae. Previous field studies suggest that the habitats of the juveniles of these species were similar to one another. Few habitat utilization studies focus on the juvenile stages of these species...
