Presents data on the tree-roosting ecology of female northern long-eard myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) in managed hardwood forests in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia

Effects of restoration techniques on breeding birds in a thermally-impacted bottomland hardwood forest

Abstract We evaluated the effects of revegetation techniques on breeding bird communities in a bottomland hardwood forest impacted by thermal effluent. In 1993, sections of the Pen Branch bottomland on the Savannah River Site, South Carolina, were herbicide-treated (glyphosate), burned, and planted; other sections were planted only while others were unaltered and served as controls. Few differences in the avian community occurred at 1 and 2 years post-treatment among treatments. Plots that were herbicide-treated, burned, and planted had greater species richness in 1994 and abundance in 1995 than sections that were planted only (P
