Spatiotemporal Factors Affecting The Occupancy And Phenology Of A Declining Songbird (Bachman's Sparrow - Peucaea Aestivalis) At The Western Extent Of Its Range, Liam G. Wolff May 2022

Spatiotemporal Factors Affecting The Occupancy And Phenology Of A Declining Songbird (Bachman's Sparrow - Peucaea Aestivalis) At The Western Extent Of Its Range, Liam G. Wolff

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Bachman’s Sparrow (Peucaea aestivalis) is a declining songbird that occurs throughout the southeastern United States. Bachman’s Sparrow is a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Texas, but information crucial to management efforts, such as factors affecting their detectability and occupancy, is lacking. I investigated the predictors of Bachman’s Sparrow occupancy and phenology in Texas using detections from autonomous recording units coupled with site characteristics and weather data. My results indicate that Bachman’s Sparrow occupancy is associated with increasing herbaceous ground cover and decreasing basal area, distance to the nearest source population, and basal area when canopy height …

Research Report No. 25, Frmps: A Forest Resource Management Planning Simulator For East Texas Pine Plantations, Tom Hartz

Informal Project Reports

FRMPS is designed to provide a landowner an opportunity to simulate the establishing, growing and harvesting of lob lolly pine ( Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine ( Plnus elltotti Engelm. ) plantations in East Texas. Also included in the model is a procedure to s1mulate the growing of an existing non-plantation with a future conversion to ptne plantet1on. The effect of different cash flows from various activities and operations is analyzed using net present value as the decision-making criterion. FRMPS runs on a Macintosh SE or 11 personal computer and requires STELLA FOR BUSINESS v. 2. 1 software.
