KEU: What is the impact of increasing the riparian buffer zone along agricultural streams on song sparrow abundance?

Note: The riparian buffer is the area adjacent to a stream that contains, trees, shrubs, grasses, and other perennial plants.

Hypothesis: Total riparian buffer area is positively related to song sparrow abundance because riparian buffers provide nesting sites of higher quality than agricultural fields for ground-nesting song sparrows.

Prediction: As riparian buffer zone area increases, the number of occupied song sparrow nests per square km of agricultural land will increase.
