Empirical development and implementation of the equation (Eq. 1) to predict bird community composition using the proportion of countryside forest elements within 70 m of the point of interest (CFE₇₀). Gray scale indicates the CFE₇₀ value for each datum. (A) Plot of actual vs. predicted bird community using Eq. 1. (B) Distribution of land and its predicted community composition in the 4,220-ha study area (excluded edges where data were incomplete). Bars with a diagonal pattern indicate land in the 262-ha forest reserve.
