Seasonal habitat use of moose assessed by faecal pellet count

Seasonal habitat use of moose assessed by faecal pellet count

Samenvatting

The moose (Alces alces) shows partial migration in Scandinavia. During the seasons access to forage sources differs, where in winter this is more limited, due to e.g. snow cover. In summer various sources are available. The age class of the forest roughly reflects the forage availability for the moose. However, besides vegetation also fear of predators and human disturbance affects the moose space use. Studies on habitat use are conducted in various ways, with most cost-effective the moose pellet counts. This thesis is focused on the difference of moose distribution and habitat use between summer and winter, with the use of summer and winter pellet counts I studied the relation between moose presence and vegetation, abiotic factors as elevation and snow depth, and anthropogenic factors.
