Abstract

Road infrastructure is a significant factor affecting bird populations around the world. This study assesses the impact of motorways on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of bird assemblages in agricultural landscapes with scattered tree and shrub vegetation. The study brings knowledges about motorway impacts on bird species richness sorted according to their habitat preferences, nesting guild and feeding guild. The study has novelty due to the inclusion of different habitat types, in which the effects of motorways have not been examined in detail. Results show that motorway distance is a better predictor of motorway impacts on species richness compared to traffic noise. Furthermore, overall bird species richness is also influenced by the traffic volume. Farmland birds were impacted by distance to motorways more than woodland birds. Finally, ground and shrub nesters were impacted most by the presence of motorways. Based on the results, measures were suggested to mitigate the negative effects of the motorway in the landscape.

破碎农业景观中高速公路周围鸟类丰富度的减少：一个协会方法

道路基础设施是影响世界各地鸟类种群的一个重要因素。本研究评估了高速公路对散布乔灌木植被的农业景观中鸟类群落的定性和定量特征的影响。根据鸟类的栖息地偏好、筑巢行规和摄食行规对高速公路对鸟类物种丰富度的影响进行了分类。这项研究具有新颖性，因为它包含了不同的栖息地类型，其中高速公路的影响尚未被详细研究。结果表明，与交通噪声相比，高速公路距离能更好地预测高速公路对物种丰富度的影响。此外，总体鸟类物种丰富度也受到交通量的影响。农田鸟类比林地鸟类更容易受到与高速公路距离的影响。最后，地面和灌木筑巢者受高速公路的影响最大。在此基础上，提出了缓解高速公路对景观的负面影响的措施。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
