Abstract:
A comparative analysis of seasonal and multiannual mean relative density of small rodents in different biotope types was performed. The highest values of the relative density of small rodents were recorded in 1988, constituting 30%, and the lowest – in 2022 – 2%. In the wheat field in the fall of 1988, the density was 30%, the annual average being 12%, and in alfalfa - 24.6%. High values of the relative density of small rodents were also recorded in 1977 (10%), the lowest values were reported in 2021 (1%).
