BIRD AND SMALL MAMMAL COMMUNITIES OF FOUR SIMILAR-AGED FOREST TYPES OF THE CADDO LAKE AREA IN EAST TEXAS

摘要

Bird and small mammal communities were surveyed on four different forest types of Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant in Harrison County, Texas during 1996 and 1997. The forest types surveyed were bottomland hardwood, sideslope hardwood, mixed pine-hardwood and upland pine. A total of 5,804 birds of 70 species and 944 small mammals of 10 species was recorded during the study. A Monte Carlo Contingency table analysis showed that the four forest types held significantly different bird (P=0.001) and small mammal (P=0.01) communities.
