Secrets of Altai: An Ecological Model of Birds and Forests

With intensified global climate change and human activities, ecosystem stability and biodiversity face significant challenges. Birds, as key ecosystem indicators, are closely linked to vegetation cover, which is vital for assessing ecosystem health and guiding conservation strategies. This study focuses on China’s Altai region, exploring the relationship between bird populations and vegetation cover in riparian landscapes through a comprehensive mathematical model and analytical framework encompassing spatial distribution, ecological stability, and dynamic prediction. Utilizing Lotka-Volterra ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and random forest regression, the study elucidates the impact of vegetation changes on bird populations and ecosystems, providing scientific support for regional biodiversity conservation.
