In five consecutive developmental stages of cultivated pine forest the main structural and energetic characteristics in breeding bird communities were determined. Energy parameters were estimated with the help of dynamic computer simulation model. As the forest matures the following parameters of bird communities increase: number of species (S), density (N), species diversity calculated for individuals (H’N) and energy (H’A, H’P, H’SC), standing crop (SC), assimilation (A), andproduction (P). However, the changes of these characters are not entirely a continuous process. The ecological efficiency (P : A) and correlation of this coefficient with species diversity suggests that the series of communities described does not fully answer the patterns usually attributed to succession.
