Effects of deforestation on structure and diversity of small mammal communities in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts (Czech Republic).

Original language description

This study is aimed at determining the degree of deforestation that is necessary to cause changes in structure and species diversity of small mammal communities that were observed previously. The localities (Smrk and Kněhyně) differ by the degree of human disturbance. Clearings on Smrk Mt are very large (> 30 ha) with no remaining original forest growth as a result of intensive air pollution, unlike the same habitat type at Kněhyně Mt, where the clearings are minor (< 3 ha) and contain living solitary trees. The community of the original mountain spruce forest at Kněhyně had the highest species diversity, while species diversity at clearings of Smrk was the lowest. Our results obtained in disturbed habitats at Kněhyně and Smrk Mts suggest that the degree of deforestation may influnce the presence and/or the degree of community changes. If the forest destruction is relatively small, the structure and diversity of small mammal communities do not differ from those of original forest.
