Cobertura geográfica
Loharghat Forest Range, within the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, features diverse habitats like wetlands, scrublands, grasslands, tropical and deciduous forests. Chandubi, a vital tectonic wetland in the landscape, is designated as Important Bird Area (2003) and Key Biodiversity Area (2005) but remains largely unexplored. This study aims to establish a baseline database of avifaunal assemblages from the Loharghat Forest Range in Kamrup District, Assam, which includes the Mayang Reserved Forest and Barduar Reserved Forest.

Loharghat Forest Range, within the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, features diverse habitats like wetlands, scrublands, grasslands, and tropical and deciduous forests. Chandubi, a vital tectonic wetland in the landscape, is designated as an Important Bird Area (2003) and Key Biodiversity Area (2005) but remains largely unexplored. This study aims to establish a baseline database of avifaunal assemblages from the Loharghat Forest Range in Kamrup District, Assam, which includes the Mayang Reserved Forest and Barduar Reserved Forest. The forest is protected and managed by the local community. The surveys were conducted between August 2021 to June 2023. The study revealed a total of 224 avian species belonging to 20 orders and 58 families. The birds are further categorised based on their seasonal movements, diets, and rarity in the region. Our findings indicate that the community-managed forests have a rich and diverse avifauna.

| Descripción del área de estudio | The study area falls in the geographical coordinates between 25.8409–25.8623 °N and 91.4510–91.4450 °E. It comprises two reserved forests, the Barduar Reserved Forest and the Mayang Reserved Forest, extending south towards the Thaiñ-Mawdem Forest Range (Figure 1). Chandubi Lake separates these forest habitats, and subsequently, by roads and village settlements in the plains. The topographic variations within the area create a diverse landscape consisting of wetlands, scrublands, rivers, forests, and agricultural fields. Spanning over 63 km2, the assessed area exhibits 55–280 m elevations. The climate of Chandubi exhibits summer temperatures reaching highs of 35–38 °C and winter lows ranging from 8–10 °C. The study area is also characterised by a temperate tropical monsoon climate, featuring abundant rainfall and high humidity (Imsong et al. 2018). |

|---|
Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- Transect: A total of 78 km2 was covered across 22 transects for 368 hours. In Barduar, a 39.6 km2 transect was walked in the Barduar Reserve Forest between 0630 h and 1300 h, and 38.4 km2 in the Mayang Reserve Forest between 0530 h and 1200 h. Of all the transects, 15 were surveyed three times, and seven were surveyed twice. Each time, 2–3 observers were present, ensuring data reliability. Data collection & Analysis: Data collection sheets and e-bird were used to record observations, including date, time, weather conditions, species, flock size, coordinates, record type (vocalisations/sightings), and habitat type. The occurrence status of bird species is determined by the proportion of days with sightings from the research area throughout the length of the survey period: Very Common (VC) >50%, Common (C) = 25–50%, Uncommon (UC) = 5–25%, and Rare (R) = 1–5%.
