Title: Grassland songbird nest-site selection and response to mowing in West Virginia
Journal: Wildlife Society Bulletin
Authors: K. A. Warren, and J. T. Anderson
Date: 2005
Summary: Warren and Anderson looked at vegetative structure and its influence on nest site selection of passerine birds in West Virginia. Six fields(three former hayfields, three former pastures) were split in half for the experiment; with each field having one control half, while the other half was mowed to a 10-12 cm stubble height immediately following breeding season (late August).

Title: Effects of continuous grazing on habitat and density of ground-foraging birds in south Texas
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: D. L. Baker, and F. S. Guthery
Date: 1990
Summary: The response of key habitat features and bird populations to 2 intensities of continuous grazing by cattle on the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Refuge in Texas was investigated for two years. A pasture of each soil type (sandy loam, clay) received heavy or moderate continuous grazing treatments. Bird densities were estimated visually during summer, autumn, winter and spring. Bare ground, litter, density, canopy cover and frequency were measured during each season. ...
