Abstract:
Benefits of fire to woodland and wetland areas include ecosystem restoration. While many agree that more prescribed burning - the controlled burning of forests - is needed, encroaching developments near these areas make it difficult to accomplish.
Abstract:
With populations of a number of songbirds in decline, state biologists are participating in the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) Program. Demographic data will help explain the decline as well as provide data on conserving birds.
