摘要: Abstract Management decreases rodent numbers through reduction of vegetation height and cover along fence lines other refuge habitats. Most farming practices remove the short-term impact mowing, mulching, harvesting ploughing was studied on common voles (Microtus arvalis). Population dynamics demographic parameters were estimated by live trapping before, after carried out. A gradient disturbance according to height, nest sites is proposed. Estimates fitted model as well population response. It concluded that only can suppress vole populations being inappropriate control pest rodents.
