When Winners Become Losers: Predicted Nonlinear Responses of Arctic Birds to Increasing Woody Vegetation by Sarah J. Thompson (3350483)

“…In many instances the relationship between avian abundance and shrubs was nonlinear, with predicted abundance peaking at moderate values of the covariate, then declining at high values. In particular, a large number of species were responsive to increasing values of average shrub height with six species having highest abundance at near-zero values of shrub height and abundance of four other species decreasing once heights reached moderate values (≤ 33 cm). …”
