It is the link and bridge connecting the major flora. Nature reserves are known as "the kingdom of plants and the paradise of animals" because of their diverse biological types and rich animal and plant species. There are six vegetation types, including forest, sandy land-covered sandy land complex community, shrub, grassland, meadow and wetland, including 1 vegetation subtypes, 47 formations and 8 formations.

According to the field investigation, there are 75 species of bryophytes in 22 families and 52 species of macrofungi in 16 families, among which there are more than 3 edible fungi such as Tricholoma mongolica, wild mushrooms, needle mill, auricularia auricula and Tricholoma auricula, and more than 1 medicinal fungi such as puffball, puffball, purple puffball and Ganoderma lucidum.

Because of its special geographical location and rich natural resources, Gurigesitai Nature Reserve provides good conditions for wildlife to hide, feed, inhabit and breed, and becomes a wildlife playground and refuge. Every breeding season, a large number of rare and endangered birds such as black stork and bustard come here to breed. According to the investigation, there are 223 species of vertebrates in 66 families, including 165 species of birds, 44 species of mammals, 5 species of reptiles, 3 species of amphibians and 6 species of fish. Among them, there are 4 species of national first-class protected animals, such as Hei He, bustard, golden eagle and red-crowned crane, and 29 species of national second-class protected animals, such as black hen chicken, swan, grey crane, geese, swallow falcon, Qingyang, red deer, Mountain hare, wolf, prairie eagle and lynx, and "National Key Protected Vertebrates"

It belongs to the Wulagai water system, with a total length of 1,123 kilometers, a drainage area of 16,396 square kilometers and an annual runoff of 11 million cubic meters. The protected area of less than 1, square kilometers contains 7% of the river flow in Wuzhumuqin Basin, which is the lifeline and economic line of the people's production and life in Wuzhumuqin grassland.
