Forest management impacts on capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) habitat distribution and connectivity in the Carpathians
Original language description
Distribution and connectivity of suitable habitat for species of conservation concern is critical for effective conservation planning. Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), an umbrella species for biodiversity conservation, is increasingly threatened because of habitat loss and fragmentation. We assessed the impact of drastic changes in forest management in the Carpathian Mountains, a major stronghold of capercaillie in Europe, on habitat distribution and connectivity. We used field data surveys with a forest disturbance dataset for 1985-2010 to map habitat suitability, and we used graph theory to analyse habitat connectivity. Climate, topography, forest proportion and fragmentation, and the distance to roads and settlements best identified capercaillie presence. Suitable habitat area was 7510 km(2) in 1985, by 2010, clear-cutting had reduced that area by 1110 km(2). More suitable habitat was lost inside protected areas (571 km(2)) than outside (413 km(2)). Habitat loss of 15 % reduced functional connecti
