Burrowing rodent density affects alpine Kobresia meadows structure and soil water content.

Abstract

The influence of burrowing rodent density plots on the alpine Kobresia meadows structure and soil water content was studied.The results showed that above and underground biomass,height of grass,depth of herbiferous,bare land area and soil water content have significant difference with the burrowing rodent density plots.With the increase of burrowing rodent density plots,above and belowground and depth of herbiferous decreased significantly,bare land area increased.With the increase of burrowing rodent density plots,the height of grass varied in W-shape.
