Abstract
The interannual dynamics of bird species abundance were traced, and an assessment of the variability of abundance of individual species was given during secondary succession on the site of a clear-cut of broad-leaved-pine forests in southwestern Belarus. Materials were collected in 2000–2019. Generally accepted methods of bird counting and statistical processing of material were used. An increase in bird species diversity from 8 to 54 species and a total abundance from 69,8 to 906,6 individuals/km2 during succession (6 stages, age from 1 year to 150 years) was established. The abundance of species (individuals/km2) and its variability during 10 seasons were established. The average abundance of species differs significantly, for example, at the stage of 120–150 years among passerines – from 2,2 (Eurasian blue tit) to 170,0 individuals/km2 (Chaffinch). The population of species with high abundance is the most stable, for example, in the Chaffinch at the last two stages of succession, the CV is 8,95 and 9,88 %. In species with medium abundance, variability is characterized as low or medium (varies from 14,80 to 30,50 %), in species with low abundance, CV varies from 30,60 to 93,00 %.
