Abstract:

In two successive years the consumption of rodents on a mid-forest meadow belonging to the community of Molinietalia order, was estimated. Few rodent species lived in this ecosystem, and among them Apodemus agrarius (Pall.) and Microtus arvalis (Pall.) dominated. In the first year of studies the consumption of rodents was 9:5 kcal/m2/year (0.5% of net primary production of this meadow) and in the next year 12.1 kcal/m2/year (0.6% of primary production).
