Abstract: Abstract: In order to explore the effects of micro-topography on climatic factors and soil temperature and moisture in the habitat of Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. seedlings in Daxigou, Xinjiang. In the closed wild fruit forest, the terrain factors and temperature, light, air humidity, soil temperature and moisture were observed in plots during the growing season of the A. vulgaris seedling. Analyzed the relationship between the environmental factors and terrain factors. The results showed that: (1) The slope aspect was a significantly positive correlation with temperature, light intensity and soil temperature (P<0.01), southeast slope > south slope > northeast slope, while the slope aspect was a significantly negative correlation with air humidity and soil water content (P<0.01); (2) The slope position was a significantly positive correlation with temperature and light intensity (P<0.01), the slope position was significantly negative correlation with soil water content (P<0.05). The environmental factors of different slope positions had no significant difference (P<0.05); (3) Slope was a significantly positive correlation with air temperature, light intensity and soil temperature (P<0.01), moderate slope > steep slope > middle slope > gentle slope, and there were significant difference between the gentle slope and the other slopes (P<0.05). Slope had significantly negative difference with air moisture and soil water content (P<0.05); (4) Slope shape had a significantly negative correlation with soil water content (P<0.01), which had no significant effect on climatic factors and soil temperature. The variation of terrain had significant effect on the climate, soil temperature and moisture in the habitat of A. vulgaris seedling. The suitable habitat condition of A. vulgaris seedling are southeast slope, up slope, moderate slope and convex slope with their climate, soil temperature and moisture.
