Chipmunks Research Paper

    Road construction and operation often cause the topography, vegetation, runoff and micro-climate characteristics to significantly change, resulting in interference to wildlife, forcing original living habits and activity patterns to change. For example, traffic noise affects the communicating, living and breeding activity of birds.
