THREATS TO BIOTOPES IN AGROECOSYSTEMS

One of the conditions of the species continuity is a natural living space (habitat), in which the species achieves its basic needs. Large area of agriculture and forestry monoculture are not conducive to existence of game animals. Permanent devastation of game preserves, windbreaks, liquidation of foraging sites and shelterbelts force the wild animals to feed in the field and forest crops. In modern agrotechnique – the usage of plant protection products deprives the wild species (eg the hare) of forage, on the other hand it causes contamination of food absorbed by animals. Not only does it disorganise the trophic pyramide, but also can cause permanent damage to the organism – environment networks system, which is essential for proper circulation of matter and energy in ecosystems. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the effects of the changes in the biotypes caused by agriculture.
