Core Insights - The comprehensive management project for degraded alpine grasslands in Haibei Prefecture has shown significant results, enhancing soil moisture retention and fertility, and improving the stability and resilience of the grassland ecosystem [1][2] Group 1: Project Implementation - The project, supported by the Qinghai Provincial Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Research Institute, began in May 2024, focusing on the integrated management of severely degraded grasslands [1] - A total of 80 hectares of severely degraded areas were selected for the project, utilizing a technology model of "excellent forage replanting + scientific fertilization" [1] - The project includes the replanting of local climate-adapted forage species and the application of organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility and accelerate vegetation restoration [1] Group 2: Management Strategies - 33 hectares of ecologically sensitive areas are designated for fenced grazing management to control grazing intensity and frequency, allowing natural recovery of the grasslands [1] - The project addresses two major destructive factors: rodent damage and the spread of toxic weeds, by applying biological agents and low-toxicity pesticides over 800 hectares of degraded natural grasslands [1] Group 3: Results and Economic Impact - Vegetation coverage in the demonstration area has increased by over 20% compared to before the management, with biomass on perennial alpine artificial grasslands rising by over 25% [2] - The biomass on excellent forage grasslands has increased by over 30%, leading to a 20% increase in economic benefits corresponding to grassland productivity, supporting the dual goals of ecological protection and increased income for herders [2] - The project provides a replicable and promotable practical experience for ecological restoration and sustainable development of grasslands in Haibei Prefecture and the broader Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [2]
