NATURAL COMPLEX, «GREEN ISLANDS» AND THE ECOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE MOSCOW MEGAPOLIS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ORNITHOLOGICAL APPROACH
Abstract
Green islands of theMoscownatural complex were studied as a habitat for Passeriformes. Their spatial distribution within the complex was analyzed. It was found that the species diversity and the abundance of birds depend on the degree of urbanization of the elements of natural complex, as well as their fragmentation and mosaic structure and the ratio of cultural and natural elements. These parameters are critical for the evaluation of the potential of natural-cultural urban ecosystems while designing and maintaining the ecological network.
