- Title
FORAGING IN A PATCHY AND DYNAMIC LANDSCAPE: HUMAN LAND USE AND THE WHITE STORK.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents a study that uses a spatially explicit model to examine the impact of different land use patterns on food supply and breeding success of a central-place forager. The model suggests that sequential mowing increases breeding success for the White Stork compared to the synchronous mowing activities presently applied by farmers. The patch selection strategy becomes increasingly important for predicting food supply with increasing heterogeneity and dynamics of the landscape.
