This study assessed the relationship among land use, riparian vegetation, and avian populations at two spatial scales. Our
objective was to compare the vegetated habitat in riparian corridors with breeding bird guilds in eight Rhode Island subwatersheds
along a range of increasing residential land use. Riparian habitats were characterized with fine-scale techniques (used field
transects to measure riparian vegetation structure and plant species richness) at the reach spatial scale, and with coarse-scale
landscape techniques (a Geographic Information System to document land-cover attributes) at the subwatershed scale. Bird surveys
were conducted in the riparian zone, and the observed bird species were separated into guilds based on tolerance to human
disturbance, habitat preference, foraging type, and diet preference. Bird guilds were correlated with riparian vegetation
metrics, percent impervious surface, and percent residential land use, revealing patterns of breeding bird distribution. The
number of intolerant species predominated below 12% residential development and 3% impervious surface, whereas tolerant species
predominated above these levels. Habitat guilds of edge, forest, and wetland bird species correlated with riparian vegetation.
This study showed that the application of avian guilds at both stream reach and subwatershed scales offers a comprehensive
assessment of effects from disturbed habitat, but that the subwatershed scale is a more efficient method of evaluation for
environmental management. 相似文献

Total diet study approach was used to assess the dietary intakes of pesticide residues among the select population in Hyderabad. When assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, it was found that the food intakes varied among five socioeconomic sections (SES). Therefore, we intended to compare the intakes of pesticide residues through these foods among the five SES. A total of 195 foods from different markets were collected and analyzed for 19 pesticides. The residues were analyzed with a gas chromatograph and were confirmed with mass spectrometry. About 51 % of the samples were detected with one or more residues. Thirteen out of the 19 residues were present in levels above detection limits in various concentrations. The median concentrations of the residues in all the samples tested, ranged from 0.00010 to 0.33 mg/kg. Highest median concentration was for β-HCH in water samples. Exposures to all the residues were below the respective ADIs at both mean and 95th percentile levels of food intakes with highest estimated dietary intakes (EDIs) of β-HCH in both the cases. The EDIs of β-HCH were the highest among all the residues at both the intake levels among all the SES. The EDIs of β-HCH were significantly higher in lower SES than higher SES possibly due to the consumption of rice cooked in water contaminated with β-HCH. EDIs for other residues did not differ significantly among the five SES. 相似文献
