Abstract

The effects of fire on bird communities of the airport grassland was studied in November 2013 using the route survey. The results showed that: 11 kinds of birds were recorded, belonging to 5 orders and 8 families, where the dominant species was sparrow (Passer montanus), Short-toed Braun (Calandrella cheleensis) and magpies (Pica pica). Compared with the fire area, no fire area had the highest density of birds, Shannon-Weiner index value (H') and Pielou index value (E). The fire significantly reduced the density of bird community, species diversity and evenness degree (P <0.05), and bird density increased with the degree of fire reduced. But the fire did not significantly change the number of species of bird community (P>0.05).There was more similarity in bird species composition between fire area and no fire area.
