Species Richness And Abundance

To evaluate the potential of bog ecosystems to recover following peat mining, we compared bird species richness,abundance, and assemblages and vegetation among naturally revegetated and undisturbed bog sites in southeastern Quebec.Based on mining history, we selected 28 sites (12 natural, 9 abandoned after blockcut extraction, and 7 abandoned after vacuumextraction) in 15 bogs. We estimated percent cover for six vegetation strata in 106 plots with 100 m radius, on which bird pointcounts were conducted in 1993 and 1996. Vegetation structure differed significantly between natural, post-blockcut andpost-vacuum sites. While vegetation cover was almost complete in natural sites, abandoned sites, especially post vacuum, wereless vegetated, even after 20 years. Bird species richness and abundance were similar in natural and post-blockcut sites andboth were higher than in post-vacuum sites. Ten of the 28 species studied in detail responded to site perturbation. Among them,the Palm Warbler was most closely associated with natural sites. Bird communities were closely associated with vegetationstructure. Communities of post-blockcut sites were more similar to those of natural bogs than were bird communities ofpost-vacuum sites. Since the blockcut method of peat mining is no longer economically feasible, we conclude that bog habitatrestoration should be accompanied by a preservation “safety net” area to counteract the lasting effect of vacuum peat mining onbird species assemblages.

Functional Evenness

ContextThe negative association between elevation and species richness is a well-recognized pattern in macro-ecology. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate changes in functional evenness of breeding bird communities along an elevation gradient in Europe. MethodsUsing the bird data from the EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds we estimated an index of functional evenness which can be assumed as a measure of the potential resilience of communities.ResultsOur findings confirm the existence of a negative association between elevation and bird species richness in all European eco regions. However, we also explored a novel aspect of this relationship, important for conservation: Our findings provide evidence at large spatial scale of a negative association between the functional evenness (potential community resilience) and elevation, independent of the eco region. We also found that the Natura2000 protected areas covers the territory most in need of protection, those characterized by bird communities with low potential resilience, in hilly and mountainous areas.ConclusionsThese results draw attention to European areas occupied by bird communities characterized by a potential lower capacity to respond to strong ecological changes, and, therefore, potentially more exposed to risks for conservation.
