Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association At quail-used sites in the South Texas Plains, plant height and litter accumulations decreased.
- Association On the SDG in fall and winter, available sites scored higher on a habitat gradient with more species richness and forb cover and less litter.
- Association The habitat gradient explained 41% of the variation in the ground layer variables.
- Association Mark-recapture studies suggested positive population responses of northern bobwhites to SDG in the first year after its start.
- Recommendation Bobwhite habitat improvements may be realized by initiating SDG on some semiarid rangelands.
