Abstract

Two functional approaches toward estimating habitat edge width are proposed. Methods rely upon the dispersion of nests of bird species associated with edge habitat. Field data collected in central Michigan are used to compare and contrast the two methods with habitat edge width determined structurally. The results provide an ecologically more meaningful estimate of edge width. Particular applications are discussed.
