Habitat use of breeding birds in Central European reed beds

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To date, there have been few comprehensive studies on habitat preferences of wetland bird communities focusing on European reed bed avifauna. During the years 2016-2017, we collected data on bird communities from 79 observational points distributed within 34 wetlands in the northeast of the Czech Republic ranging in size from 0.76 to 70.42 ha, and relevant environmental factors. We compared habitat use among wetland bird species in relation to these factors and tested their effect on species diversity and the proportion of specially protected species. We found that (1) the number of bird species as well as the number of wetland species were positively correlated with the area of the whole wetland. We also uncovered (2) a significant effect of wetland vegetation cover, percentage of open water surface, vegetation wetness index and distance to road to species abundances. There was a clear gradient along distance from water body/open water surface/vegetation wetness index between the species of water surface and species inhabiting wetland vegetation. The second independent gradient was found along distance of observational point to road. (3) Bush cover and Common Reed cover were positively correlated with diversity index and distance to water body was negatively correlated with diversity index. (4) Percentage of specially protected species increased with distance to road and vegetation wetness index, but decreased with tree cover. (5) We recommend this multi-comparison approach for other wetland areas and propose management practices that may increase attractiveness of wetlands for birds.
