Habitat type, food resources, noise and light pollution explain the species composition, abundance and stability of a winter bird assemblage in an urban environment
M Ciach, A Fröhlich - Urban Ecosystems, 2017 - Springer
At present, urban areas cover almost 3% of the Earth's terrestrial area, and this proportion is
constantly increasing. Although urbanization leads to a decline in biodiversity, at the same …
