The effects suggest that rising atmospheric CO2 will increase terrestrial carbon and alter the distribution of carbon among the different pools of carbon. Nest site selection, nest success, yearling production, and breeder survival were measured within Florida Scrub Jay territories. The influences of landscape patterns on habitat use, reproductive success, survival, and territory size can be quantified at different scales starting with attributes associated with habitat patches, nest sites, and territories. Appendix B is the Final Report, prepared by the Biological Consultant for the Scientific Advisory group of Scrub Conservation and Development Plan, Brevard County. It summarizes the program and schedule of work, the methodologies employed and the data and results collected.

The centerline winds are not exactly the same as those measured by the towers. This work examines the effect of nearby foilage on the accuracy of the measurements made by any one sensor, and the effects of averaging on interpretation of the measurements. The field program used logarithmically spaced portable wind towers to measure wind speed and direction over a range of conditions as a function of distance from the obstructing foliage. Appropiate statistics were computed. The results suggest that accurate measurements require foliage be cut back to OFCM standards.
