Maximising woodland bird diversity in brigalow belt forests

Abstract

This fact sheet written by Alison Howes and Dr Martine Maron presents findings from a project undertaken in the Brigalow Belt bioregion in central Queensland. Primary study sites were on Bush Heritage Australia’s Carnarvon Station Reserve and the adjoining Carnarvon National Park. This project aimed to determine the interactions among fire, grazing and habitat structure, and their influence on noisy miner presence and woodland bird assemblages. Outcomes from the study will aid in development of land management principles and intuitive, user-friendly decision-support tools with the potential for application across the Brigalow Belt region
