Изменения ландшафтов и фауны Полтавской области

Abstract

Essential impoverishment of the fauna in the territory of the former Poltava province resulted from peopling and agricultural development in the 18-19th centuries. Regulating of the forestry and hunting, raising of the efficiency level of agriculture stipulated an increase in the number of some animals and birds species. Castor fiber L., Sus scrofa L., Alces alces L. and Capreolus capreolus L. appeared again and became usual in the territory of the region.
