| USGA Summary Points: | Preliminary results indicate that golf courses in the desert environment may provide important habitat for resident and migratory birds, and especially those species that tend to be associated with riparian areas. Several of the courses in this study have significantly greater avian abundance and species diversity than their paired reference sites. However, the golf courses also tend to attract a large number of cosmopolitan and/or exotic bird species. Final analysis of the data will be utilized to provide specific recommendations to how best to manage various features of the golf course landscape to improve habitat quality for native birds, resulting in increased avian diversity, as well as overall native biodiversity. |
