摘要: Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) bioturbation affects the soil nutrient concentrations of the alpine meadow in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) by the arrangement of bare land. This study investigated the effect of the disturbance produced by plateau pika bioturbation on primary soil nutrient concentrations of the Kobresia pygmaea meadow in view of overall and site scale and further analyzed the effect of the disturbance intensity of plateau pika on the soil nutrient concentrations of vegetated land and bare land. Our results showed that the …
