Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Digital tabular data

Description:

Abstract:: This data set contains unlimited distance point count data that was collected from 70 sites in Big Bend National Park, Texas. Sites were located by using systematic sampling with a random start. Each site marked the center of a 2km radius sampling circle and all sites were at least 4km apart. In addition, all sites were at least 400m from paved or dirt roads. Sites were sampled every 9 days from mid-December through late February for three winter field seasons: 1999-2000, 2000-2001 and 2001-2002.
Purpose:: To assess the interactive effects of climate change and fire on the capacity of the Trans-Pecos Region to support bird communities.
