A new avian richness evaluation method (AREM) was developed and tested for assessing lowland wetland and riparian habitats of the Colorado Plateau. AREM rapidly scores habitats for avian richness from simple observations of habitat characteristics. AREM's predictions were compared with original field data from 76 sites on the Colorado Plateau during the breeding season. Species predictions and detections were highly indicative of the breeding avifauna in regional wetlands studied. AREM has implications for use in mitigation calculations, detection of impaired wetland quality, selection of appropriate indicator species, targeting habitat enhancements, wildlife-based classification of wetland habitats, and assisting...
