Contiguous wet meadow acreage in habitat
complex of 2500+ acres
The likelihood that Whooping Cranes will identify and use wet meadow areas
within a habitat complexes increases as the contiguous area of wet meadow
in the complex increases. (This assumes these wet meadows have suitable
hydrology and soils, and are within 2 miles of the Platte River). A threshold of
640 acres per habitat complex is hypothesized to achieve desired Program
benefits.
