Mark Myers, associate professor, Biology, will present “Asessing the Wildlife Habitat Value of Diverse Prairie Plantings Managed as Agroenergy Crops in an Agricultural Landscape,” on Monday, March 2, from 12:00 to 12:50 p.m. in the Presidential Room, Maucker Union.  Please bring your lunch; cookies will be provided.

Myers' research aims to determine optimal methods for managing tallgrass prairie vegetation as an agroenergy crop while maintaining high-quality habitat for native wildlife.  For the past 5 years, he and his students have annually monitored habitat conditions and bird and butterfly community dynamics at an experimental research site to explore the prediction that more diverse agroenergy crops will support a greater abundance and diversity of wildlife over time.
