Matrukhan T. Formation bird complexes in in lowland habitats in the North Sea of Azov their protection and rational use of.

The object - bird complexes of river valleys in the North Sea of Azov as an integral part of the lowland ecosystems. The aim is to study the regularities of formation, dynamics and protection of bird complexes in lowland habitats in the North Sea of Azov under the influence of anthropogenic transformation. The methods are accounting for voices, routing and point, the statistical analysis. The processes of formation of the modern state and the long-term dynamics of bird communities in lowland habitats in the North Sea of Azov. Studied modern taxonomic and biomorphs structure bird complexes river valleys , the population dynamics of birds on control plots. Identified 125 species of birds that make bird complexes river valleys Northern Azov. During the breeding season in the river valleys formed bird complexes 7 in which 97 species occur in the winter - 4 bird complexes (39 species). Clarified the major factors influencing the structure of the bird complexes. The most destructive factor for bird complexes river valleys is agriculture (plowing floodplain meadows, over-grazing, hay). Shows the influence of the degree of transforming investigated valleys on the formation bird complexes river valleys. Analysis of the effects of anthropogenic disturbances of natural landscapes of the valleys of the rivers showed that at high anthropogenic load decreases the number of species and population density of birds that nest on the ground. The recommendations on the inclusion of new sections of river valleys in the nature reserve fund of the region to protect the species and the conservation of species diversity of birds that will effectively preserve and restore bird communities of river valleys. Application spheres are monitoring of the bird communities state, reserved matter, the training courses.
