Abstract
Forested habitats and their suitability for bird species in the South are described. For each species, a summary of biological knowledge regarding status, distribution, and habitat requirements is presented. General and specific habitat requirements for each species are given in the form of habitat relationship matrices. This information is designed to be used by land managers as a guide for evaluating and prescribing land management practices.
