Habitat selection and diet composition of Greylag Geese Anser anser and Barnacle Geese Branta leucopsis during fall and spring staging in relation to management in the tidal marshes of the Dollard
The tidal marshes of the Dollard have recently become an important staging area for Greylag Geese and Barnacle Geese. Part of the marshes were designated a nature reserve in 1981, which was followed by a decrease in management (abandoning of ditching and a change from high- to low-intensity cattle g...
