Preliminary Study on Ecological-Economic Threshold of Rodent Control in Zoige Alpine Degraded Grassland
[Objective]In order to explore the ecological and economic threshold of rodent monitoring and control in alpine meadow,and to provide reference for the critical value of grassland rodent benefit-harm damage transformation and scientific prevention and control.[Method]Based on the summer prevention and control model of plateau pika in Maixi Township,Ruoergai County,the regression model was estab-lished by using rat density and forage loss,and the cubic curve equation(y=a+bx+cx2+dx3)was selected as the optimal model.When the control cost and control benefit were equal,the rodent density was the economic damage level,and get the economic threshold of rodent pest prevention and control.On the ba-sis of economic threshold,the ecological cost caused by control factors was considered,and the ecologi-cal risk index of pharmaceutical was estimated,and the ecological economic threshold was obtained.[Result]The economic threshold of the plateau pika in Ruoergai County was 115 active burrows/hm2,and the ecological economic threshold was 127 active burrows/hm2.[Conclusion]Therefore,when the rodent density in Ruoergi County reaches 127 effective burrows/hm2,comprehensive control can ensure high economic benefits and achieve sustainable use of grassland at the same tome.
