The Spatial Structure of Bird Population of Man-Caused Landscapes of the South Pribaikalia

D. V. KUZNETSOVA, V. O. SALOVAROV

Abstract

The data of bird registration carried out in man-caused ecotopes of South Pribaikalia during the first half of summer were analyzed. Using the automatic classification, analysis of structural features of the bird population was carried out taking into account its spatial non-uniformity. The territorial non-uniformity of bird population is determined mainly by the effect of afforestation, watering, land developing and industry-related impact. Different deviations in the spatial-typological structure due to industry-related impact demonstrate the specificity of its effect of bird communities. A sharp change in bird population as a result of different versions of industry-related effects determines the absence of gradual sequences of changes in the communities.
