Abstract

During November and December in both 2003 and 2004, in Zibaishan Nature Reserve of Feng County,Shaanxi, China, the population density of Moschus berezovskii(forest musk deer)was surveyed using the pellet group countmethod. In this reserve the total population density of M. berezovskii was estimated at 0.48 0.75 individualskm- 2(mean SD). The population density[in individualskm- 2(mean SE)] of forest musk deer in a conifer broadleaf mixed-forest was 0.94 0.05, whereas in a broadleaf forest it was 0.28 0.02, and in shrubs itwas 0.13 0.02(mean SE).No pelletswere found in grass plots(including abandoned tilled land)or nested landscapes with low trees, shrubs, and grass on mountaintops. On the north slope of this reserve, M.berezovskii were mainly distributed in the forestbetween 1 700 and 2 100 melevation.However,on the south slope, the relatively high population density occurred in woodlands between 2 100 and 2 450 m. Slope exposure and anthropogenic disturbance mostly explained the distribution differences. Because of the extremely low density,urgent action is needed to count the forest musk deer so as to protect and restore the population.[Ch, 2 fig. 3 tab. 27 ref.]
