THE ECOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF VERTEBRATE ANIMALS IN THE ROAD EFFECT ZONE ON REGION HIGHWAYS
Abstract
It was studied the ecological structure of vertebrate animals in the area of road effect on the Federal highways, where the traffic amounted 6500 vehicles a day. It was found that the road effect zone is up to 400 meters to the left and to the right from the road in forest ecosystems, and it is up to 1200 meters in the meadow ecosystems. It was revealed that the road effect zone provides the maximum negative impacts on the inactive animals and the sedentary animals. It was noted that the majority of environmental indicators of communities of the vertebrate animals in the road effect zone, is lower significantly than the indicators on the control plot.
