Abstract
The spatial organization of a rodent community in terms of its depende nce on the structure of vegetation was studied in 1995 in the southwes t of Chernye Zemli, Kalmykia. Mapping of vegetation and determination of the spatial distribution of rodents by the recapture method were pe rformed on three key plots. The vegetation was arranged in digression- demutation series using dominant and determinant analyses. The existen ce of strong and significant correlations between the spatial organiza tion of rodent populations and the dynamics of vegetation was demonstr ated.
