Abstract

The article analyses data on the negative or positive impact of independent abiotic/biotic (including anthropogenic) factors on the selection of breeding habitats and specific nesting sites by Black Stork (Ciconia nigra). Based on the analysis of environmental data for particular nesting sites of Black Stork, the modelling of suitable nesting areas was performed in forested territories – in the Giedraiciai and Glitiskės forest districts. A detailed assessment of suitable nesting areas for Black Stork, with the highest likelihood of the species’ breeding, was made with the help of GIS and local envirospace modelling. Eventually, a further extrapolation of generalised research results to much larger territories on the scale of the entire country or even region is possible.
