Abstract: Dust damage caused by the digging behavior of Brandti's vole is studied in the typical steppe of Northern China in fall. Results have shown that during this period, the total dust damage is about 10 liters per vole. The cache damage is about 8.0 liters per vole, and the average carrying depth is about 33.7 cm. The nest damage is about 0.68 liter per vole, and the average carrying depth is about 43.1 cm. The damage of the burrow system is about 1.5 liters per vole during this period.
