英文摘要 | The mechanism underlying the effects of livestock grazing on grassland ecosystem traits has been greatly discussed. However, as a common small burrowing mammal on the Tibetan Plateau grasslands, the plateau pika's (Ochotona curzoniae) influence on alpine grassland ecosystem traits has rarely been investigated, especially beyond the plot scale. In this study, we flew an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over a grassland landscape under grazing and nongrazing treatments. Mounted visible spectral remote sensing, in combination with field surveys, was utilized to explore how livestock and pika grazing modify grassland ecosystem traits at the landscape scale on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Using object-oriented classification and partial least squares regression, we retrieved the pika burrow distribution and grassland ecosystem traits. Then, the relationships among livestock grazing, pika burrowing and ecosystem traits were evaluated. The results indicated that livestock grazing reduces the alpine meadow community height by 0.13 cm and the species number by 0.25 while increasing the vegetation coverage by 9.69 % and the aboveground biomass (AGB) by 10.07 g/m2. A lower statue grassland community with greater coverage caused by livestock grazing promotes pika burrowing. Pika burrow density increases 100/ ha per 1.70 % increase in vegetation coverage, a 1.87 g/m2 increase in AGB or a 0.08 m decrease in community height. Under livestock grazing, both community structure and nutrients are more strongly associated with pika burrow density. The structural equation model demonstrated that livestock grazing regulates pika burrow density by moderating structural value and subsequently affecting nutritional value. Pika burrowing activity explains 40 % of the total variation in nutritional value. Our findings revealed an intrinsic linkage between mammal activities and alpine grassland ecosystems, which can provide guidelines for grassland management through pika population control by adjusting grazing intensity on the TP. |
