Bird richness loss around motorways in fragmented agricultural landscapes: a guild approach
Original language description
Road infrastructure is a significant factor affecting bird populations around the world. This study assesses the impact of motorways on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of bird assemblages in agricultural landscapes with scattered tree and shrub vegetation. The study brings knowledges about motorway impacts on bird species richness sorted according to their habitat preferences, nesting guild and feeding guild. The study has novelty due to the inclusion of different habitat types, in which the effects of motorways have not been examined in detail. Results show that motorway distance is a better predictor of motorway impacts on species richness compared to traffic noise. Furthermore, overall bird species richness is also influenced by the traffic volume. Farmland birds were impacted by distance to motorways more than woodland birds. Finally, ground and shrub nesters were impacted most by the presence of motorways. Based on the results, measures were suggested to mitigate the negative effects of the motorway in the landscape.
