AN OBSERVATION ON RODENT ACTIVITIES RELATING TO LOESS EROSION
黄土侵蚀与啮齿动物活动关系的观察——以滹沱河流域的黄鼠为例

This paper contributes a quantitative record obtained from an observatioa of the burrowing habit of Suslik (Citellus dauricus) as an example to show the relationship between loess erosion and rodent excavation.The test by means of regression and correlation indicates that the high population density of Suslik of the species causing a strong burrowing activities accelerates the loess collapss during the gully erosion processes.
