Relationships Between Logging Methods Habitat Structure And Bird Communities Of Dry Interior Douglas Fir Ponderosa Pine Forests Of British Columbia

"This annotated bibliography contains over 700 references which deal with: (1) effects, direct and indirect, of forest management practices on nongame forest birds, covering such topics as logging, cut types, rotation periods, thinning, site preparation, plantations, pesticides, herbicides, burning and regeneration: (2) forest bird-habitat relationships in both natural and sites disturbed by forestry operations or other practices which would produce similar situations; (3) factors affecting species diversity and biogeography distributions; (4) the role of birds in the forest ecosystem; and (5) management and conservation considerations for nongame forest birds, and sorne related techniques. The emphasis was placed on migratory songbirds in the boreal forest area. However, since few studies have investigated the effects of forestry practices on this category of birds in the boreal region, information was included for a variety of habitat types from aIl over North America, and a few from other regions. It was hoped that the findings and management considerations in these papers would provide usefuI information, and that some of the trends observed could be applied to the boreal region"--Abstract, p. iii.

Workshop was organized to provide researchers with a forum to share research results, identify gaps, and set priorities for the future. Proceedings provide managers of dry Douglas-fir forests with an accessible source of information about the forest type.
