Abstract:
- With the anticipated decline of the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) due to infestations of hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA, Adelges tsugae), there is concern about how this structural change to Eastern forests will affect wildlife -- specifically avifauna. Bird surveys were conducted at 40 points in 12 hemlock-dominated stands in central Connecticut.
