Popis: The main purpose of the article is to make geoecological analysis of the habitat quality of the Russian muskrat on the territory of specialized protected areas. Based on the collected statistical indicators on the territory of the Khopyor State Nature Reserve, a correlation analysis was carried out between the number of muskrats, climatic and hydrological factors of its habitat, as well as the possible influence of predators on the number of muskrats. Patterns of population change on the territory of the Khopyor State Nature Reserve have been revealed. The optimal ratios of the muskrat habitat comfort have been determined. The necessity of improving the geoecological monitoring of the Russian muskrat and its habitat is proved.
