Peitz DG. 2010. Bird Community Monitoring at Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa: 2009 - 2010 Status Report. Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/HTLN/NRDS—2010/111. Natural Resource Program Center, National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
We use trends in the composition and abundance of bird populations as long-term indicators of ecosystem integrity in the habitat of Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa (EFMO). Changes in the population size and community composition of birds on the Monument may reflect the effectiveness of management in restoring and maintaining the various vegetative communities at EFMO. Long-term trends in community composition and abundance of breeding bird populations provide one measure for assessing the ecological integrity and sustainability of these systems.
