摘要: Species composition and abundance of small mammals, as well changes in mammal communities after the abandonment agriculture fields, were studied forest fragments surrounding field matrix. The most common species was bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus), fields – (Microtus arvalis). C. glareolus yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) had highest frequency occurrence, both recorded 82% investigated fragments. Other less common. relative mammals did not differ matrix irrespective their size. In fragments, stable. After field, diversity a community decreased. Our study suggests that only positively responded to...
