Forest fragmentation is well studied from the perspective of avian
reproductive and pairing success, species richness, abundance and
occurrence. It is less clear how non-forest habitats affect bird
occurrence and appropriate spatial scales (spatial extent) to
measure such effects. Few studies examine how birds respond to
landscape configuration at spatial scales useful for conservation
and land-use planning; i.e., to identify important habitats and
assess impacts of land-use activities. To understand how
area-sensitive forest birds respond to non-forest habitats at
various spatial scales, we quantified bird abundance in large areas
of northern and southern New Jersey and used multivariate logistic
regression to identify significant habitat variables at four
spatial scales for six species breeding in both regions (48
predictive models).
