Abstract: The flourishing development of geographic information technologies, with their powerful spatial data processing capability, provide strong support for researches on the habitats of terrestrial mammals, and have been widely used in related research area. We reviewed the research works on the habitats of terrestrial mammals in recent decades, and summarized the existing applications from aspects of habitat data acquisition and management, spatiotemporal data processing and analysis, and habitat planning and evaluation. In the final part, for each link of data acquisition, data management, analysis methods, and information expression, we proposed possible development trend for the application of geographic information technologies in the field of terrestrial mammal habitats.

Key words: climate change, double cropping rice, thermal growth period, breed collocation, thermal resources, safe growth period.
