Description
Summary:In this paper we present the results of the researches performed on the dam basins from ROSPA0062 - The dam basins from the Argeş River during the World Championship of Kaiac-Canoe Sprint Juniors and Youth U23, held on the Bascov Basin, part of this protected area. 55 species of birds were registered. Even if in 2017 the general situation was better than in 2013, when a similar study was carried on during a period when there were no sportsmen on any basin, the situation was completely different on Bascov Basin. There was a similar number of species, albeit only 35.71% of all were common in the two sets of observations, but, regarding their abundences, these were lower than in 2013 with over 90%, the most affected being the species dependent on wetlands. The human impact is obvious as the nautical base from Bascov Basin is a permanent factor of stress for the birds from the area. The very small number of species from the Annex I of the Birds Directive observed here stregthens the previously mentioned facts.
