Block WM and Finch DM. 1997. Songbird ecology in Southwestern ponderosa pine forests: A literature review. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service General Technical Report. General Technical Report RM-GTR-292. US Forest Service. Fort Collins, CO
This publication reviews and synthesizes the literature about ponderosa pine forests of the Southwest, with emphasis on the biology, ecology, and conservation of songbirds. Critical bird-habitat management issues related to succession, snags, old growth, fire, logging, grazing, recreation, and landscape scale are addressed. Overviews of the ecology, current use, and history of Southwestern ponderosa pine forests are also provided. This report is one of the outcomes of the Silver vs Thomas court-settlement agreement of 1996. It is intended for planners, scientists, and conservationists in solving some of the controversies over managing forests and birds in the Southwest.
