Summary
This study investigated the effects of herbicide treatment on vegetation structure plus nest-site selection and nesting success of common terns Sterna hirundo at a breeding colony on an old coal dock (colonised by grasses and forbs) on Lime Island (46°05'N, 84°01'W) in the Saint Mary's River, Michigan, northern USA.
Nests were subsequently checked every 2–3 days from May to August to monitor clutch size, hatching success and the fate of eggs.
