| Abstract | Data from 11 years of spring census over a 6,325 ha area were used to estimate the habitat preferences of red deer in the West Hertogenwald forest (Ardenne, Belgium). Each year, 1 to 4 censuses were organised to assess deer population density. The census method was based on a systematic coverage of the forest by experienced spotters. Each observation was described (number, sex, behaviour) and located in a GIS. Within the study area, 915 groups of non-antlered deer (hind, yearling and calf), corresponding to 2,775 individuals, were recorded during the 24 censuses of the period from 1990 to 2000. Different environmental variables describing the study area, such as forest cover (tree species and structure), canopy closure, altitude, distance to roads and pastures, were identified and integrated into the GIS. Each observation of a group of non-antlered deer was spatially related to these environmental variables to perform a habitat selection analysis. The results of this analysis showed significant preferences for certain forest types (eg spruce vs beech), and for open canopy areas. Positive correlations to high altitude areas, pastures and spruce thicket stages and a negative correlation to roads were high-lighted. A comparison procedure involving GPS-collared animals in the same area was performed and showed a good correlation between census and GPS data. The methodology of this approach and the management implications of the results are discussed.Auf der Basis der Ergebnisse von Frühjahrszählungen, die über einen Zeitraum von 11 Jahren in einem 6325 Hektar gro\en Gebiet durchgeführt wurden, werden die Habitatpräferenzen von Rothirschen im Waldgebiet West Hertogenwald (Ardennen, Belgien) beurteilt. Jedes Jahr wurden eine bis vier Zählungen zur Einschätzung der Bestandsdichte durchgeführt. Grundlage der Zählung war eine systematische Erfassung des gesamten Waldgebietes durch erfahrene Beobachter. Jede Beobachtung wurde beschrieben (Anzahl, Geschlecht, Verhalten) und mittels eines geographischen Informationssystems (GIS) lokalisiert. Während der 24 Zählungen im Zeitraum von 1990 bis 2000 wurden im Untersuchungsgebiet 915 Gruppen geweihloser Stücke (Alttier, Jährling und Kalb), entsprechend 2775 Individuen, erfasst. Verschiedene Umwelt-Variablen im Untersuchungsgebiet, wie Waldbedeckung (Baumarten und Struktur), Grad des Kronenschlusses, Höhenlage, Abstand von Stra\en und Weiden, wurden bestimmt und in das GIS integriert. Zur Durchführung einer Habitatselektions-Analyse wurde jede Beobachtung einer Gruppe geweihloser Stücke in eine räumliche Beziehung zu diesen Umweltvariablen gesetzt. Die Analyse-Ergebnisse belegten eine signifikante Bevorzugung bestimmter Waldtypen (z. B. Fichte gegenüber Buche) und von Bereichen mit offenem Kronendach. Positive Korrelationen mit hoch gelegenen Bereichen, Weiden und Fichtendickungen und negative Korrelationen mit Stra\en wurden hervorgehoben. Eine Vergleichsuntersuchung unter Verwendung von Tieren, die mit einem GPS-Halsband versehen waren, ergab eine gute Korrelation zwischen den Zählergebnissen unde den GPS-Daten. Die Methodik des Untersuchungsansatzes und die Management-Implikationen der Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.Les données de 11 années de recensements printaniers sont analysées en vue d'estimer les préférences du Cerf élaphe en matière d'habitat sur une zone de 6,325 ha située dans le massif de l'Hertogenwald occidental (Ardenne, Belgique). Chaque année, 1 à 4 recensements sont organisés pour évaluer la densité de population du Cerf. La méthode de recensement est basée sur une couverture systématique du massif par des observateurs expérimentés. Chaque observation est décrite (nombre d'individus, sexe et comportement) et localisée dans un SIG. A l'intérieur du site d'étude, 915 hardes de cerfs non-boisés (biche, bichette et faon), correspondant à 2,775 individus, ont été dénombrées à la faveur de 24 recensements effectués de 1990 à 2000. Différentes variables environnementales, telles que le couvert forestier (espèce dominante et structure), la fermeture de la canopée, l'altitude, la distance aux routes et aux gagnages, ont été identifiées et digitalisées à l'aide d'un SIG. Un lien spatial a été établi entre chaque observation d'une harde de cerfs non-boisés et ces variables environnementales afin de réaliser une analyse d'utilisation de l'habitat. Les résultats de cette analyse montrent des préférences significatives pour certains types de couverts forestiers (ex.: épicéa > hêtre), ainsi que pour les milieux ouverts. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence des corrélations positives entre la présence des cerfs nonboisés et les altitudes les plus élevées, les gagnages et les fourrés d'épicéas, et des corrélations négatives vis-à-vis des routes. Le même type d'analyse mené sur des animaux équipés de colliers GPS fournit des résultats similaires à ceux obtenus sur base des observations obtenues lors des recensements. La méthodologie de cette approche et les implications de ces résultats en termes d'aménagement sont discutées. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
