摘要: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the use hedgerows by small mammals in four agricultural landscapes Prince Edward Island, Canada. Island has one highest percentages land (about 48%) devoted crop production and pasture all Therefore, identifying landscape elements that can mitigate effects habitat fragmentation resulting from practices is essential preserve biodiversity Island. We quantified species richness, abundance diversity 13 attached forest patches. Although detected patches were also found hedgerows, significant differences suggest not benefit equally hedgerows. other than eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) increased longer about 225–250 m, but independent hedgerow's length smaller m.
