BIOTIC
CONDITIONS
|
| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Predators, both mammals and birds, then fed on bird eggs and chicks. As a result, breeding success of waders was close to zero. Little Stints had already started to concentrate in post-breeding flocks at the beginning of July. Such a low breeding success in the region had only been recorded previously in 1974.
|
|
|
Rodent dynamics:
|
| Lemmings were numerous during spring, but then decreased sharply.
