Relationship between rodents density, environmental factors and tree damages caused by rodent species.
Original language description
The impact of rodent bark gnawing on common beech plantations was studied in the area of the Jeseníky Mts. in the course of four years. The extent of damage fluctuated significantly on 18 monitored plantations and was affected by a set of environmental factors, particularly by the altitude and herb layer character, which had a significant impact on the abundance and distribution of rodents. The ratio of grasses increased with decreasing altitude and conditioned the increasing abundance and occurrence ofthe field vole (Microtus agrestis), which proved to be the major pest in the area. Its impact was substantially more intensive (p<0.05) than that of the more abundant bank vole (Myodes glareolus) whose abundance on the contrary increased with increasingaltitude, conditioned by a rise in the numbers of its preferred dicotyledonous plants. However, the relation between an increase in abundance and the degree of damage was not conclusive in this species, unlike in the former. Although the
