• Fig. 2. Results of DCA-ordination of vegetation sample plots within three variants of microcommunitieson the bank vole settlements in the axes of the greatest variation in floristic composition.Types of microcommunities: I – dominated by vegetatively immobile annual and biennial plants of the ruderal group (Alliariapetiolata, Cardamine impatiens, Geranium robertianum, Moehringiatrinervia, Torilis japonica, etc.);II – with the domination of vegetatively mobile perennials of the ruderal group (Glechomahederacea,Lamiummaculatum, Urticadioica, etc.);III – dominated by vegetatively mobile perennialsof the competitive group (Aegopodiumpodagraria, Mercurialisperennis)
• Fig. 3. Scheme of the bank vole settlement in a broad-leaved forest: I – the microcommunities at the siteof soil disturbance dominated by vegetatively immobile annual and biennial plants of the ruderal group(Alliariapetiolata, Geranium robertianum, Moehringiatrinervia, etc.). II – the microcommunities of the forage area with the dominance of vegetatively mobile perennials of the ruderal group (Glechomahederacea, Lamiummaculatum, Urticadioica, etc). III – the microcommunities of the forage area with the dominance of nemoralvegetatively mobile perennials of the competitive group (Aegopodiumpodagraria, Mercurialisperennis);IV – large and small fallen trees; V – bases of tree trunks, shrubs and large tree undergrowth;VI – entrances to burrows; VII – caches with a stock of woody plant seeds
• Fig. 4.Microcommunities with domination of annual and biennial plants of the ruderal group on the siteswith soil disturbances: a – thrown out of burrows and trampled soil under the common hazel with domination of Alliariapetiolata, Moehringiatrinervia; б – trampled soil at the base of the trunk with Poanemoralis, Brachypodiumsylvaticum, Cardamine impatiens, etc.; в – soil ejection with Stellaria media, Alliariapetiolata, Moehringiatrinervia, etc.; г – soil ejection with Cardamine impatiens, Moehringiatrinervia
• Fig. 5.Cyclic changes in the coverage of herbs belonging to different types of strategy (behavior)in microcommunities of the bank vole settlements. Stages of development of microcommunities: I – dominatedby nemoralvegetatively immobile annuals and biennials, which belong to the ruderal group (Alliariapetiolata, Cardamine impatiens, Geranium robertianum, Moehringiatrinervia, Torilis japonica, etc.); II – with the dominanceof vegetatively mobile perennials, which belong to the reactive group (Glechomahederacea, Lamiummaculatum, Urticadioica, etc.); III – dominated by nemoralvegetatively mobile perennials, which belong to the competitive group (Aegopodiumpodagraria, Mercurialisperennis). Green arrows – the directions of developmentof microcommunities determined by competitive plants.Brown arrows denote directions of developmentof microcommunities determined by the bank vole. Microcommunitiesdevelopmentcycles: A – elongated, Б₁andБ₂ – shortened
• Fig. 6.Microcommunities and plant species of forage area of the bank vole: a – herb cover dominatedby the vegetatively mobile perennial Glechomahederacea which belongs to the ruderal species, as well as withthe participation of Aegopodiumpodagraria, Lamiummaculatum, Mercurialisperennis, Pulmonariaobscura, etc .;б – gnawing leaves of Alliariapetiolata, Padusavium, Pulmonariaobscura; в – gnawing leaves of Aegopodiumpodagraria with petiole remains near the burrow; г – gnawing leaves of Quercusrobur
• Fig. 7. Plant microcommunities of forage area of the bank vole with domination of vegetatively mobile perennials, which are competitive species: a – Aegopodiumpodagraria; б – Mercurialisperennis;в– Convallariamajalis; г – Carexpilosa
