Monitoring of the avifauna of the forest areas of Northern Fennoscandia exposed to emissions of industrial enterprises

Abstract

The research allowed to describe modern species composition and population structure of bird of forests of the zone birch forests and sparse forest of the northwest part of the Murmansk region, also changes in the composition of avifauna in the process of anthropogenic transformation of the structure of forest vegetation. The diversity of bird species is reduced, but the composition of common species is preserved, however their quantitative abundance is reduced. The number of species closely related to natural woody vegetation is decreasing and the role of shrubs and birds, which feed on the exposed surface
