Pollution impacts on bird population density and species diversity at four non-ferrous smelter sites

► Forest bird population densities were monitored at four copper smelter sites. ► Bird density and diversity generally decreased towards the pollution sources. ► Impact on bird communities did not strictly follow forest litter copper levels. ► Bird communities rather responded to the pollution-relat...
