Description
Summary:Studies on small mammals in the Wizna fen, which is uniformly reclaimed and cultivated as meadowland, were carried out using the standard removal method on 52 trapping lines (n=1116) in the autumns of 3 years (1977-1979). Domination percentage and relative numbers were determined for 13 species of Micromammalia in samples from six basic types of plant habitats: various meadow habitats, shelter belts and forest reserves. The species caught in the greatest numbers were: Microtus arvalis, Clethrionomys glareolus, Sorex araneus and Microtus oeconomus.
