ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to characterize avian community structure and to determine responses of
the birds to the management regime of an orchard system in central Poland. The avian assemblages in the
apple orchards were shaped by the diversity of the surrounding habitats and the age of trees. The results document
the decrease in bird numbers during the breeding season in relation to pesticide use.
