Effects of Regenerative Ranching Practices on Prairie Ecosystems

My thesis focuses on different ranch management practices and the effects they may have on bird communities in northern Texas. Specifically, I address the potential differences between ranches enrolled in the Audubon Conservation Ranching program versus ranches that are not enrolled. Each research chapter is meant to be an individual publication. Chapter 2 compares and contrasts two different ways to survey bird communities in prairie systems. Chapter 3 compares ranch management techniques, prairie health indicators, and bird communities. This study aims to observe any mechanistic drivers of rangeland health that may elicit a positive bird assemblage response.
