Download or read book Bird Habitat Relationships Along a Great Basin Elevational Gradient written by Dean E. Medin and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bird censuses were taken on 11 study plots along an elevational gradient ranging from 5,250 to 11,400 feet. Each plot represented a different vegetative type or zone: shadscale, shadscale-Wyoming big sagebrush, Wyoming big sagebrush, Wyoming big sagebrush-pinyon/juniper, pinyon/juniper, pinyon/juniper-mountain big sagebrush, mountain big sagebrush, mountain big sagebrush-mixed conifer, mixed conifer, mixed conifer-alpine, and alpine. Eighty-nine bird species were observed. The total number of birds and bird species followed a skewed bell-shaped distribution. Some birds were quite narrow in their choice of vegetative zones while others showed very little selectivity. Both total number of individual birds and bird species appeared to reach highest values in study plots with a substantial component of mountain big sagebrush.

Download or read book A 20 year Recount of Bird Populations Along a Great Basin Elevational Gradient written by John Woodyard and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 1981 and 1982, Dean E. Medin conducted bird censuses along an elevational gradient (5,250 to 11,400 feet) near and on Wheeler Peak of east-central Nevada. Twenty years later we conducted bird censuses on seven of his 12 plots. Data from the bristlecone pine--Pinus longaeva--plot were collected in 1981 but not published (data on file with the Great Basin National Park). Data for the remaining six plots were collected in 1982 and published. In general, all 2002 bird counts from the seven study plots recorded substantially fewer numbers of total birds and, with the exception of the bristlecone pine and alpine study plots, recorded fewer bird species as compared to Medin's counts of 1981 and 1982. Total numbers of birds counted in the 70 visits (10 census visits for seven study plots) to all study plots for 1981 and 1982 was 5,034. This compares to 1,930 for 2002, or a reduction of 3,104 birds--a 62 percent reduction. Total number of bird species sighted in 1981 and 1982 was 83 compared to 75 in 2002, or a reduction of eight. Sixty-three species of birds were common to the 1981/1982, and the 2002 censuses. Twenty species of birds were sighted in 1981 and 1982 that were not sighted in 2002, and 12 species were sighted in 2002 that were not recorded in 1981 and 1982.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Great Basin, centering on Nevada and including substantial parts of California, Oregon, and Utah, gets its name from the fact that none of its rivers or streams flow to the sea. This book synthesizes the past 25,000 years of the natural history of this vast region. It explores the extinct animals that lived in the Great Basin during the Ice Age and recounts the rise and fall of the massive Ice Age lakes that existed here. It explains why trees once grew 13' beneath what is now the surface of Lake Tahoe, explores the nearly two dozen Great Basin mountain ranges that once held substantial glaciers, and tells the remarkable story of how pinyon pine came to cover some 17,000,000 acres of the Great Basin in the relatively recent past. These discussions culminate with the impressive history of the prehistoric people of the Great Basin, a history that shows how human societies dealt with nearly 13,000 years of climate change on this often-challenging landscape"--Provided by publisher.
