Platte River Ecology Study

Special Research Report

Este libro es muy interesante ya que te explica la importancia de la limpieza de los ríos y es un estudio realizado en el rio de Valle del Río Platte y los factores que afectan las condiciones del hábitat en las tierras ribereñas, en el cual habla sobre poblaciones de aves migratorias y  la gestión de los hábitats ribereños y las tierras adyacentes apoyar a las poblaciones de determinadas especies de aves migratorias, entonces podemos entender que no solo es por cuidar a los peces que habitan en los ríos también existen otras especias que salen afectadas por esta contaminación.

RESEÑA:

This report summarizes findings of the Platte River Ecology Study. The 3-year investigation was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to 1) determine the role of the Platte River Valley in contributing to the requirements of midcontinent migratory bird populations and 2) develop guidelines for management of riverine habitats and adjacent lands supporting populations of selected species of migratory birds.

A research team formed by investigators from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and several universities conducted the study. Individual investigations focused principally on various aspects of migratory bird usage of the Platte River Valley and on factors affecting habitat conditions on riparian lands.

Nearly all facets of the research program described in this report will be submitted for publication in scientific journals. Readers requiring a more detailed description of individual studies should consult the technical papers that will be forthcoming.
