Abstract

The application of chemical fertilizers has provided significant yield increasing benefits for agricultural production, but its potential harm to ecosystems, especially bird populations and reproductive behavior, is increasingly attracting attention. The application of fertilizers directly or indirectly affects the habitat, food chain, and population structure of birds, thereby altering their reproductive habits and success rates. This article analyzes the impact of chemical fertilizer application on bird habitats and food resources, and explores the decline in biodiversity, ecological imbalance, and ecological chain reactions caused by chemical fertilizers. At the end of the article, measures such as reducing fertilizer use, optimizing agricultural management, and implementing biological protection measures were proposed to alleviate the negative impact of fertilizer application on bird populations and reproductive behavior.
