Relevance of small mammals for the grasslands of the Tibetan plateau – The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) – an indicator for pasture degradation on the Tibetan Plateau?
The soil-dwelling plateau pika has coexisted with pastoralists and their livestock for millennia on the Tibetan Plateau. The region, one of the largest rangeland areas in the world, is increasingly influenced by land use intensification (increasing population and livestock numbers), changes in the traditional Tibetan livelihoods (sedentarization policy), as well as climatic changes. The consequence is the degradation of the grasslands. In this changing ecosystem small mammals gain more importance, as forage competitors for livestock. Moreover the most abundant small mammal the plateau pika have traditionally been accused to cause and accelerate pasture degradation and labeled as pest. At the same time, a broad scientific consensus exist, because pikas are frequently regarded as a parade example of ecosystem engineers, highlight as keystone species and may play a beneficial role in their natural habitats.
Within the BMBF-funded project PaDeMoS (Pasture Degradation Monitoring System) the study mainly focus on the interactions between plateau pika and the Tibetan pastures, along large scale environmental gradients, including a special population analysis of plateau pika as model species.
