The effects of management practices on grassland birds—Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa)
September 6, 2019
Keys to Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) management include providing large expanses of short, sparsely to moderately vegetated landscapes that include native grasslands and wetland complexes. Optimal wetland complexes should contain a diversity of wetland classes and sizes, such as ephemeral, temporary, seasonal, semipermanent, permanent, and alkali wetlands, as well as intermittent streams. Marbled Godwits use wetlands of various salinities. The species has been reported to use habitats with less than or equal to 70 centimeters (cm) average vegetation height, 4–23 cm visual obstruction reading, and 1–9 cm litter depth.
