Geographic distribution data were collected from field investigation,literature review and museum collections.Environmental variables in the distribution area of small mammals were used for factor analysis to determine the principal factors that affect the distribution pattern of small mammals.The results showed that species richness and precipitation were positively related,whereas the relationship between species richness and average temperature in July,the annual average temperature,and Average annual evapotranspiration were negatively correlative.No significant relationship was observed between the species richness and Average annual evapotranspiration.The factor analysis on the environmental variables which affect the distribution of small mammals revealed that diversity of precipitation,average temperature in July,the annual average temperature,and Average annual evapotranspiration played a dominant role as a basic landscape factor,that total average temperature in January consisted of another principal factor.
