Product Information
- To survey birds using the protocols and sites established during DUV6 - surveys conducted in replicate landscapes that sample a gradient in native vegetation cover and contrasting configuration - thereby enabling temporal change to be assessed.
- To evaluate differences in (a) species richness and (b) incidence of woodland bird species between the sampling periods (2002/03 and 2006/07) in relation to landscape composition and configuration.
- To test the hypotheses that rates (i.e. change over time) of (a) species loss and (b) population decline are negatively correlated with (i) extent and (ii) aggregation of native vegetation in the landscape.
- To establish the foundation for a landscape-level, long-term ecological monitoring program to evaluate landscape resilience.
- To communicate knowledge of temporal change to key stakeholders in native vegetation planning and management.
