Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge
At Valle de Oro in South Valley, NM we aim to anser the following questions with Nature's Notebook:
- Establishing information on richness and abundance of focal bird species before, during, and after restoration
- Studying timing of phenological events in native Rio Grande cottonwoods and invasive Siberian elms
- Use this data to help inform management decisions such as when to remove physical buildings on the refuge to have as little impact as possible on bird species; time flooding of fields and wetlands to limit elm seed germination and encourage cottonwood seed germination, etc
- Does species richness, abundance, timing of phenological events change in response to management activities and climate change?
