Title: Validation of Songbird Habitat Models-root wad and debris piles
Description:
Abstract:
Root-wad and debris pile data collected for the testing of songbird-habitat relationship models. These data were collected for each of 50 forest stands located on public and private forest land in the western Cascades of Oregon in the vicinity of Cottage Grove, Oregon, in 1998 and 1999.
Purpose:
These data were collected specifically for testing previously developed habitat-relationship models.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Majority of data entered in field with data loggers. Data checked for errors.
Logical_Consistency_Report: Does Not Apply
Completeness_Report:
Selection Criteria: Root wads had to be a minimum of 3-ft wide by 3-ft tall; debris piles are pile of downed wood at least 10-ft long by 10-ft wide by 6-ft tall.

Methodology:
Methodology_Type: Field
Methodology_Description:
The number of transects used for data collection was determined by stand size (acreage) and represented approximately 10 % of the area of the stand. The transects measured 20-m x 200-m and were randomly placed throughout each stand. The azimuth of the transect was also randomly selected. Within each belt transect root wads and debris piles, which met the above criteri,a were measured. For root wads, length was measured to the nearest foot (of the wad, not the entire tree), width to the nearest foot, and height to the nearest foot. For debris piles, length, width, and height were measured to the nearest foot.
