Abstract
A variety of habitats occurs as plant succession proceeds on burned heathland, and these are utilized in different ways by different birds so that there is change in species of birds along with change in plant growth. Trees and bushes are often factors controlling a species'' habitat distribution as they serve as song posts in the breeding territories. Food is considered unimportant in this respect. The limiting and common factors of the breeding territories of 32 spp. are analyzed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
