This Wildlife Conservation Department is offering a grant to support a graduate student undertaking research on the factors influencing annual duck density. This grant is for the purpose of analyzing an extensive, long-term dataset, collected since 1988 by Habitat and Population Evaluation Teams from over 6,000 wetlands. The student’s project will investigate the effects of environmental variables, including trees, terrain relief, vegetation, watershed land use, and weather, on duck populations. The findings from this analysis will directly inform and enhance habitat management and acquisition strategies within the U.S. prairie pothole region, encompassing Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, aiding crucial conservation efforts.

| Agency Name: | Fish and Wildlife Service |
| Description: | Since 1988 the Habitat and Population Evaluation Teams in Regions 3 and 6 have collected data on condition and duck use of a static sample of over 6,000 wetlands. This is one of the largest on longest-term data sets in the world of weather, wetland condition and wildlife use. The proposed project will provide financial assistance for a graduate student investigating the effects of trees, terrain relief, vegetation cover class, watershed land use, weather and other factors on annual duck density. The results of this analysis will inform habitat management and acquisition decisions in the U.S. prairie pothole region of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. |
