Relationship between the body mass of Microtus brandti and the vegetative biomass on its habitation

Abstract

Abstract: The sizes of body mass of Microtus brandti were analyzed in several different grazing habitations.Significant differences have been detected for the body mass of M.brandti in various habitations using ANOVA. M.brandti obtained the biggost mass in the lightly-grazed habitation and get the middle mass in the lightly-grazed and over-grazed habitations.Those living in the seriously-grazed habitation can only reach the lowest body mass.This may be considered an adaptation for the Microtus brandti to the environment.

Key words: Haloxylon ammodendron community, Habitat type, Species structure, Species diversity, Biomass, Distribution pattern
