ASSESSMENT OF SPECIES DIVERSITY AND DYNAMICS OF MIXED FOREST AVIFAUNA IN NEW MOSCOW

Abstract

We report an assessment of a specific variety and dynamics of ornithofauna of the mixed wood of Valuyevsky and Ulyanovsk forest parks in New Moscow during 2006, 2010 - 2015 in the conditions of an increasing anthropogenic impact on the territory. In the period from 2010 to 2015, in comparison with 2006, the number of bird species increased, as for separate years, so for the whole period. The share of prepotent and small-in-number species rose sharply. The number of rare species increased. The number of usual species remains at the former level; however, their share decreased. The total number of noted types from 2006 to 2010 - 2015 remains almost invariable. The end of active construction works and isolation of some sites of the displaced wood results in the extension in a specific variety of birds. Ornithofauna of the mixed wood keeps relative stability due to an insignificant influence of anthropogenous factors.
