Using Corine Land Cover to predict
habitats occupied by moose Alces alces. The aim
of the study is to assess the possibility of predicting
the habitats occupied by moose on the basis of
Corine Land Cover. The second aim was to assess
whether the impact of the structure of land cover
on the population density of moose can change
over time with an increase in population numbers.
The data for analysis was the number of moose
in 293 hunting districts assessed each year in
spring in Podlaskie Voivodship. The data covered
ten years from 2010 to 2019. The boundaries of
each hunting district were compared to the Corine
Land Cover layer, and the share of each type of
coverage was calculated. The impact of cover
types on moose numbers was analyzed in generalized
linear models. The moose population showed
a distinct increase of population numbers over the
last 10 years in the Podlaskie Voivodship. In all
the analyzed years, four cover types explained the
distribution of moose. The numbers of moose decreased
along with the increasing share of arable
lands, but was positively related to the presence
of inland marshes and share of deciduous forest.
In 2010 and 2011, additionally two cover types
explained the distribution of moose in the models,
similarly in 2019. Obtained results show that the
current range of moose in the Podlasie Voivodeship
allows the reliable prediction of its numbers
on the basis of Corine Land Cover. Impact of
some cover types has changed with time.
