Hare dynamics in plain areas of South Bulgaria: effect of habitat features and predator abundance
2021 Forestry Ideas (27): 298-308
Modern agriculture often leads to a reduction in small game species and loss of biodiversity. The study area includes MG-14 (35 T) square of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). The density of hares during the study period varied between 0.7-2.7 ind./km2. Their number reported in 2014-2015 is significantly higher than in the other years. In 2018, the lowest hare density was reported in the study area. Most were counted in May. The density of hares was positively related to habitat diversity and negatively to Wild cat density.
