Abstract: Drpartment of Biology, East China Normal University, Shanghai, 200062 Investigation on habitat of Sambar(Cervus unicolor dejeani) was conducted by transect method from October to December, 1996 in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi province. Analyzing 119 sambar’s tracks recorded within 134.3 km of transect length, the authors found that sambar preferred coniferous, evergreen broad-leafed, mixed coniferous and broad-leafed forest, especially coniferous forest. Seven ecological factors such as sheltering, slope aspect, slope position, slope, elevation, human distribubance, distance form water source were selected to test the influence on sambar’s winter habitat selection. Sheltering condition was significantly different among forest types(p<0.01), and the other factors were not different among forest types(p>0.05). the optimal winter habitat of sambar in Jianggangshan was coniferous forest, upper slope, distance form human disturbance greater than 1000m, distance from water source less than 400m.
