Abstract:

By using system sampling and multivariable statistic analysis method, we research on the habitat selection of Lacerta vivipara in the range 10 km at Huma country, Heilongjiang province during the stage of April-May, 2008 and May-June, 2009 and July, 2010. The result shows that L. vivipara showed selection behaviors on habitat. The vegetation type, slope aspect, natural enemy disturbance, slope gradient, food abundance, vegetation canopy, human disturbance, soil texture, slope location and forest floor thickness effected L. vivipara significantly. L. vivipara were apt to select habitat with less human disturbance and spacious Quercus mongolica-Btula davurica mixforest. They lived in middle and lower slope with thicker community forest floor and loose soil.
