Vertebrate Utilization of Reclaimed Habitat on PHosphate Mined Lnads in Florida: A Research Synopsis and Habitat Design Recommendations

摘要

Several studies have documented the cumulative presence of 348 species of vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish) on reclaimed phosphate mines in Florida. Many of these species, however, are found at low population densities or on a small number of sites. The studies also provided comparative data for unmined habitat in the region and reported 324 species. About 12
