Patterns of crop damage by wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Luxembourg over a 10-year period

摘要: In many European countries, the wild boar (Sus scrofa) is often associated with crop damage. this study, we analyse data relating to 13,276 cases of damage agricultural crops over a 10-year period in Luxembourg (an area 2,586 km2 Western Europe). Results show that (1) more severe than others; (2) permanent grassland far frequent and annual crops; (3) trichomatous such as barley are avoided; (4) seasonally distributed according type crop; (5) spatially non-uniform manner; (6) intensity significantly correlated hunting bags, both time space. We suggest management strategy should always take into account issue crops. Our results imply measures for preventing or reducing be targeted space adjustments cropping patterns contribute towards reduction
