Description:
By combining a spatially explicit, individual-based population simulation model with a geographic information system, this study simulated the potential effects of a U.S. Forest management plan on the population dynamics of Bachman's Sparrow at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina. esults suggest that management plans focusing on one or a ew endangered species may potentially threaten other species f concern. patially explicit population models are a useful tool in designing modifications of management plans that can reduce the impact on nontarget species.
