Bruthabitatwahl und Bruterfolg von Vögeln innerhalb verschiedener Varianten von Kurzumtriebsstreifen in einem modernen silvoarablen Agroforstsystem

The intensification of agriculture is leading to a loss of habitats and a decline in biodiversity. Short-rotation coppice strips (CS) can offer an opportunity to better reconcile agriculture and biodiversity. The study examines the effects of three CS variants on breeding birds in Lower Saxony: CS-Ecological, CS-Conventional and CS-Aspen. The results show that CS-Ecological with native woody plants attracts the most breeding birds regarding number of territories, while CS-Aspen is used more as a perching site. The skylark (Alauda arvensis), as an open land species, avoids the higher copses and only occurs at greater distances from CS.
