| 中文摘要 | 1. plateau zokors, myospalax fontanierii, are the only subterranean herbivores on the tibetan plateau of china. although the population biology of plateau zokors has been studied for many years, the interactions between zokors and plants, especially for the maintenance and structure of ecological communities, have been poorly recognized. in the past, plateau zokors have been traditionally viewed as pests, competitors with cattle, and agents of soil erosion, thus eradication programmes have been carried out by local governments and farmers. zokors are also widely and heavily exploited for their use in traditional chinese medicine.2. like other fossorial animals, such as pocket gophers geomys spp. and prairie dogs cynomys spp. in similar ecosystems, zokors may act to increase local environmental heterogeneity at the landscape level, aid in the formation, aeration and mixing of soil, and enhance infiltration of water into the soil thus curtailing erosion. the changes that zokors cause in the physical environment, vegetation and soil clearly affect the herbivore food web. equally, plateau zokors also provide a significant food source for many avian and mammalian predators on the plateau. zokor control leading to depletion of prey and secondary poisoning may therefore present problems for populations of numerous other animals.3. we highlight the important role plateau zokors play in the tibetan plateau ecosystem. plateau zokors should be managed in concert with other comprehensive rangeland treatments to ensure the ecological equilibrium and preservation of native biodiversity, as well as the long-term sustainable use of pastureland by domestic livestock. |
