We conducted 1,208 point counts on 12 study blocks from 2012\u20132014 in northwestern Alaska, using repeated surveys to account for imperfect detection of birds. We considered the importance of shrub height, density of low and tall shrubs (i.e. shrubs >0.5 m tall), percent of ground cover attributed to shrubs (including dwarf shrubs <0.5 m tall), and percent of herbaceous plant cover in predicting bird abundance", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7CN722Z", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.ASC72.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_ASC72", "keyword": ["Alaska", "Alpine/Tundra", "Animals/Vertebrates", "Avian abundance", "Biological productivity", "Biota", "Birds", "Community composition", "Community ecology", "Community structure", "Environment", "Landbirds", "Population dynamics", "Relative abundance analysis", "Seward Peninsula", "Shorebirds", "Shrubland/Shrubs", "Songbirds", "Species diversity", "Terrestrial ecosystems", "USGS:ASC72", "Vegetation changes", "Vegetation survey", "Waterfowl", "Wildlife"], "modified": "2024-09-13T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-167.926, 64.401, -161.136, 66.596", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Avian Point Count, Habitat, and Covariate Data for Subarctic Bird Abundance, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2012-2014"}
