- Statement
- The sampling design is hierarchical. Sites are the fourteen focal reforestation sites, all sites have associated unforested areas and three sites have associated mature forest. Plots (10 × 10 m for plants and carabids, 50 m radius for birds) were established in each treatment combination, bird surveys were conducted at a subset of ten of the fourteen reforestation sites. Plants were surveyed in each plot using three randomly placed 1 × 1 m quadrats in each plot, the percentage cover of each species was recorded using the DOMIN scale. Carabid beetles were surveyed using six pitfall traps were set per plot, with two traps associated with the location of each plant survey quadrat. Two bird surveys were conducted per plot during different date intervals. All surveys were conducted between 6:00 am and 11.30 am. Surveys were conducted for 15 minutes, after a two minute settling period. Birds were identified visually or by songs/calls.
