本研究於梅峰地區針對不同演替階段的棲地型態，包括天然林、火燒跡地、1-2年生草生地及5-6年生草生地，採固定邊界圓圈法進行鳥類群聚調查。由於天然林和火燒跡地的植被種類較為複雜，且垂直層次多樣化，因此形成歧異度高的生態環境，進而擁有較多的鳥種（分別為33及26種）；相反地，1-2年生和5-6年生草生地由於棲地環境的單一化，使得鳥種數明顯較少（分別為8及6種）。可做為未來在鳥類或棲地復育的經營管理上的一項參考指標。

Our study was focused on avian communities in relation to habitat types of different successional stages, including primary forest, burned forest, 1-2 yr old grassland and 5-6 yr old grassland. Species richness was higher in primary and burned forests (33 and 26 sp., respectively) due to their diversity of flora and complexity of vegetation vertical structure. On the contrary, 1-2 yr old and 5-6 yr old grassland contained fewer species (8 and 6 sp., respectively) due to habitat simplicity. The results suggest that habitat characteristics may play a strong role in determining avian community composition.
