4 Wildlife Hazard Management at Airports: A Manual for Airport Personnel Edward C. Cleary Richard A. Dolbeer 9.2.B HABITAT MODIFICATION AND EXCLUSION Habitat modification means changing the environment to make it less attractive or inaccessible to the problem wildlife. All wildlife require food, cover, and water to survive. Any action that reduces, eliminates, or excludes one or more of these elements will result in a proportional reduction in the wildlife population at the airport. The management of an airport s airside ground cover to minimize bird activity is a controversial subject in North America. The general recommendation, based on studies in England in the 1960s and 1970s, has been to maintain a monoculture of grass at a height of 6-10 inches (Transport Canada) or 7-14 inches (U.S. Air Force). Tall grass, by interfering with visibility and ground movements, is thought to discourage many species of birds from loafing and feeding. However, the limited studies conducted in North America have not provided a consensus of opinion on the utility of tall-grass management for airports.
5 What have we seen in our tropical/semiarid environments on 12 ASA airports? Cardinals Parrots Whrens Tucan Peccary Black-throated magpie jay Several native species prefer canopy/vegetation protected conditions than open spaces
6 Whereas induced grass Favors the entry of generalist, opportunistic and/or exotic species: Increases risk because of their size and gregarious habits.

9 For Mexican tropical evergreen and semiarid airports. Is a grass monoculture an appropriate measure to reduce risk fauna activity?
10 Many airports in Mexico represent high diversity islands within an urban/agricultural ocean. Mangrove and tropical evergreen forest Refuge for native fauna Niche occupation by native species inside airport boundaries (how an organism makes a living)
11 Tropical landscape holds tropical fauna: Satisfies all their needs for food, water, shelter, housing and reproduction Animals don t go about searching for them elswhere
12 : Niche occupation Semi-arid landscape holds semiarid fauna: Satisfies all their needs for food, water, shelter, housing and reproduction Animals get exposed to environment/predators if they go about searching for them in more open areas
13 Native fauna remains within native vegetation Opportunistic gregarious species take advantage with airport clearings and grass monoculture establishment RISK IMPLICATIONS?
14 Native vegetation areas hold less high risk species, compared to modified landscapes with induced grass monoculture. To compare risk fauna species abundances in native vegetation and grass monoculture areas within different airports in Mexico.

20 Risk Species Abundaces: Tropical evergreen Higher species incidence
21 Semi arid Natural grass/wet plain Higher species incidences
22 MAM: Matamoros airport Natural grass/wet plain
23
24 Conservation of native vegetation: Additional benefits: $ Reduces maintenance costs Environmental services Prevents soil erosion Noise isolation Dust isolation Suppors local biodiversity Improves landscape configuration Maintenance of monotypic, uniform stands of tall grass is difficult and expensive on many airports because of varying soil conditions and the need for fertilizer and herbicide applications. Arid regions in the western USA cannot maintain tall grass without irrigation.
25
26 Once we have at least one year of risk fauna monitoring at all ASA airports, we plan to analyze data grouped by type of native vegetation so that we can test our hypothesis in a more robust way. If our suspicions are confirmed by such analysis, we would like to do some trial plots for different types of creeping vegetation/grasses and other materials to look for alternative solutions.
