Title: Early Avian Research at the Savannah River Site: Historical Highlights and Possibilities for the Future

Journal Article · · Studies in Avian Biology
OSTI ID:807779

Avian biology was a major component of early research and baseline surveys. The focus of research shifted and the SRS evolved from open fields to forest cover. In the early years avian species richness and abundance increased with successional age of the vegetation from old-field to forest. During the early years resident game birds increased. More recent studies will help to understand the role of habitat in local and regional extinctions. A variety of survey techniques is needed.
