The effects of management practices on grassland birds—Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris)
January 1, 2019
The key to Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris) management is maintaining areas with short, sparse vegetation by burning, mowing, or grazing. Horned Larks have been reported to use habitats with less than or equal to (≤) 70 centimeters (cm) average vegetation height, 3–26 cm visual obstruction reading, 15–67 percent grass cover, 3–70 percent forb cover, ≤21 percent shrub cover, 1–44 percent bare ground, ≤63 percent litter cover, and ≤9 cm litter depth.
