Abstract
Pallas's Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus) is a common breeding bird above 700 m in the forests of the Myohyang range, Korea. Within the largely natural forest are several temple gardens, four of which at 140-520 m held territorial Pallas's Leaf Warblers. All had mature planted firs (Abies), which occur naturally in the area only over 1,000 m. The planted firs evidently stimulated the warblers to settle below their natural altitudinal range, but cannot be the only stimulus because the natural lower distribution of the warbler is 300 m below that of the tree. © Dt. Ornithologen-Gesellschaft e.V. 2009.
