The goal of this research wasrelationsand species diversity of small mammalsfrom this agroecosystem. A total of 8small mammalsspecies were identifiedduring theresearchtime. Out of small mammals identified, the species Mus spicilegusand Apodemus sylvaticusare cohabitant species, while dominant species is Microtus arvalis.
