الوصف: The conversion of natural habitats to impervious surfaces in cities affects biotic and abiotic attributes of urban ecosystems. Detailed information on the gradual influence of impervious surfaces on reproductive output, however, is lacking. Using five years of nestbox-breeding great tit and blue tit data collected across various habitat types within and outside a Central-Eastern European capital city, we quantified the impact of impervious surfaces on avian reproductive success. Impervious surfaces strongly and negatively covaried with the number of fledged young in both species: a 0 to 50% increase in impervious surface within 100 m of the nest was associated with 3.56 fewer fledged offspring in great tits (95% CI: -4.85, -2.27) and 2.91 fewer fledged offspring in blue tits (95% CI: -4.26, -1.56), thus halving the reproductive output of two widespread urban species. These results provide benchmark values of avian productivity for ecologists and urban policy makers, and for the management of urban areas. ; We used R v.4.1.2 to analyze the data, Inkscape to visualize the final plots, and qGIS v.3.34.2 to run the buffer analyses and generate the map.

Our set up comprehends study sites from highly urbanized locations close to the city center (e.g., an office area and two residential sites – blocks of flats typical of post-war Eastern European architecture, built in the late 40's and 50's of the 20th century) and from green urban spaces ...
