Influence of the flood on seasonal dynamics of number and structure of the population of small mammals of the southeast meshchery

Influence of key flood parametres on number of small mammals (Micromammalia) occupying floodplain biocenoses of the southeast Meshchery are studied. The specific structure and seasonal dynamics of Micromammalia are defined. Presence of authentic communication between growth of spring number of small mammals, duration and height of flood and «inundation index» of a river is revealed.
