Forest stand characteristics and reproduction of northern spotted owls in managed north-coastal California forests
Article Abstract:
Research undertaken in managed, young-growth forests in northwestern California into the reproductive success of northern spotted owls has established that spotted owls in the area studied are positively linked with stands characterized by middle-aged and larger trees. Younger stands made up of smaller trees have fewer owls. It appears that 21 to 40-year-old forest stands are young enough to contain a large number of woodrats, but old enough to have a high enough canopy to allow maneuverability. Residual trees were found to offer clear benefit to spotted owl reproduction.
