英文摘要 | Known as the "Chinese water tower," the Three River Headwaters (TRH) region serves an important water retention function. In addition, grassland in this region is mainly used for grazing. However, grazing pressure potentially threatens the balance of this alpine grassland ecosystem. Thus, the influence of grazing activity on water retention needs to be explored. Based on remote sensing, meteorological, government statistics, hydrological records, and field observation data, we used the Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs model, grazing pressure index (GPI), and regression analysis to assess water yield (WY) variations and investigate the influence of grazing activity on water retention. The results showed that the grasslands were overloaded in the southern and eastern areas, whereas they had the capacity to carry more livestock in the western and central areas. Grazing pressure negatively impacts on WY in most of the TRH region. Source regions of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lantsang Rivers also exhibited significant negative correlations between GPI and WY. Grazing decreased the soil water content in the alpine steppe, alpine meadow, and temperate steppe sites at soil depths of 0-30 cm, and a significant decrease was observed in the alpine meadow site at a depth of 10-20 cm. In all the areas, WY tended to decrease with GPI. Regression analyses indicate that GPI could better explain the total WY variation in the alpine meadow than in temperate steppe and alpine steppe. This implies that grazing activity has a negative effect on water retention, particularly in alpine meadows. |
