Vegetation, Nesting Bird, and Small Mammal Characteristics, Wet Creek, Idaho.

摘要

Most ground cover and herbaceous plant measures were similar among the riparian plant communities. Shrub cover was greatest in the Potentilla- and Salix-dominated communities while shrub height and biomass were greatest in the Salix community. Fourteen species of birds established nesting territories on the study reaches. Four bird foraging guilds were represented by the riparian nesters, while only one foraging guild was represented by the upland nesters. Nine species of small mammals were trapped on the study sites.
