Bird guilds as indicators of ecological condition in the central appalachians

2000-12-01

Abstract excerpt

We developed an index of biotic integrity based on bird communities in the central Appalachians. As one component of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program's (EPA‐EMAP) Mid‐Atlantic Highlands Assessment (MAHA), the index is intended to indicate landscape‐scale stressors to upland environments in the central Appalachians. The Bird Community Index (BCI) ranks bird c...
