  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The study investigated the effects of climatic (depth and density of snow cover; air temperature; precipitation), biotic (land and avian predators), and human-caused (agriculture, traffic, and hunting) factors on the population dynamics of the European hare in some habitats.
