Literature and Studies for Snags

Here are further details on the data for the selected species and citation. Blank cells mean that no information was given. See Literature Cited for the full reference of the citation listed here.

Species Code: CNB Species Name: Cavity-nesting birds
Decay Class: all classes Stand Age Or Structure: managed and unmanaged
Geographic Area: north central Washington Comments: Stands w/ greater snag density had higher detection rates (ANOVA, p<0.001); n=84 plots; plot size 0.4 ha; snag density given is calculated as weighted snag density (from table 21) for stands with significantly higher cnb densities (table 22); cnb detection rates increase with snag density at stand level - significant correlation (p<0.05) (table 23).
