Abstract:
"We were encouraged to see the Comment by Sheaves et al. (2006, this volume) regarding the Effective Juvenile Habitat (EJH) concept (Dahlgren et al. 2006). Our intention was to provoke discussion on the juvenile habitat evaluation model proposed by Beck et al. (2001), and this Comment suggests that we have done so. In this Reply Comment, we discuss some of the issues raised by Sheaves et al. (2006), but do not attempt to individually address every point in the Comment. Instead, we suggest that apparent discrepancies between the Sheaves et al. (2006) perspective and that of Dahlgren et al. (2006) stem from divergent views of how nursery value should be measured (and thus how to prioritize conservation and management strategies), but not from a different fundamental understanding of the factors which ultimately affect the value and function of juvenile habitats...."
