The impact of breeding cormorants’ colonies (Phalacrocorax carbo L.) on radial increments of Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Kąty Rybackie nature reserve
Abstract
On the basis of the dendrochronological analysis it was found that from the beginning of 2003, when the black cormorant breeding colony appeared on the pines of the Baltic dune Scots pine woods in the Kąty Rybackie reserve, the yearly growth of the annual tree-rings decreased markedly from year to year. The average reduction in radial growth in 30 trees, compared to the same number of pines of similar age growing outside of the breeding colony, reached 57.3% in the period 2003-2013. The tree-ring widths decreases were caused by direct impact of birds nesting on tree crowns and by indirect influence, through the impact of cormorant droppings fertilized the soil on the processes of pine growth and development. Using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, it was shown that compared to the control trees, the decrease in the increment of pines settled by cormorants was highly significant, at p = 0.0002.
