Flyway-Scale Assessment of Habitat Suitability and Key Environmental Drivers for Waterbirds in Southern China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study assessed the distribution of suitable habitats and ecological drivers for 47 waterbird species in eastern and southern China (south of the 800 mm isohyet), revealing a clear coastal‐to‐inland gradient, with NDVI and DEM identified as key environmental variables. Different ecological groups exhibited distinct habitat preferences.
