OpportunityTitle: Characterization of space use of birds utilizing newly-restored riparian buffer habitat.
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This is a Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Cooperative agreement to Oklahoma State University for the purpose of characterizing the spatial relationship between resident or migratory birds and recently restored riparian buffer areas and whether this relationship has an effect on BASH risk. This is a CESU agreement under the Great Plains Network.
Description: The goal of this project is to characterize the spatial relationship between resident or migratory birds, the restored riparian buffer areas in the cantonment area on McConnell AFB, and the adjacent airfield to help us better understand BASH risk as it relates to riparian habitat management off the airfield. Results from this study will inform future habitat management practices.
