EFFECTS OF CATTLE GRAZING AND FIRE ON THE ABUNDANCE, HABITAT SELECTION, AND NESTING SUCCESS OF THE BAY-CAPPED WREN-SPINETAIL (SPARTONOICA MALUROIDES) IN COASTAL SALTMARSHES OF THE PAMPAS REGION.

The article presents a study to assess the effects of cattle grazing and fire on the abundance and nesting success of the bay-capped wren-spintail in the coastal saltmarhers of the Pampas region in Argentina. The study estimated the density on different intensities of fire and cattle grazing. Results show that low-intensity cattle grazing is a viable alternative for the sustainable use of saltmarshes in the region.
