Assessing wetland condition

Aerial surveys were able to distinguish different waterbird communities in terms of species richness, abundance and assemblages. While they suffered measurement error, aerial surveys easily separated waterbird communities on these measures. In addition we compared aerial surveys to ground surveys. There was reasonable agreement in numbers of species and abundance, although there was a tendency for aerial surveys to underestimate the number of species seen during ground counts. Some ground (more)...
