BIRD MIGRATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explain and forecast the dependency of different migratory processes: spring arrival dates, migratory take-off, transit autumnal and spring migrations, migration abruption, and their characteristics upon different climatic parameters. We tried to explain the change in migratory-resident state of birds, and defined the effect of climate change upon species specificity of bird migration, mechanisms controlling migratory movements and accuracy of forecasting migratory flights. Attention is focussed on the aspects of the effect of climate change upon migration in environmental protection and other branches of economy.
