rodent community structure and succession of the primary
secondary and artificial landscape in the southern fringe of Zhungeer Basin were studied according to the rodent community structure characteristics in Hutubi cow breeding farm.The results indicated that the rodent community in this area could be divided into four types.Because of the change of desert turning into artificial landscape
the major desert rodent species Marmota sibilica and Gerbillus graduolly replaced with M.usculus
C.migratorius and A.syluaticus. In recent years
R.noruegicus has tended to spread primary landscape in the southern fringe of Zhungeer Basin.
