"Superwarfarins and Mass Destruction of Wildlife. Review"

Abstract

Agrocenoses are the artificial ecosystems created by man. They occupy about 10% of the land area, but have no physical boundaries, so the processes occurring inside them affect the biological diversity of adjacent territories, which are considered natural. Animals employ both cultivated fields and nearby areas. In addition, there is a water exchange between these parts and the natural territories and reservoirs adjacent to them. The current changes in the structure of agrocenoses in the southern regions of Russia increase the share of intensive processing fields in which agrochemical preparations are introduced. It means the increase in the proportion of fields in which rodenticide treatment is carried out and the plowing inconveniences contributes to the ingress of agrochemicals into reservoirs.
