Abstract

Based on the geographical and environmental particularities of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the importance of yak grassland grazing systems in this area, we wanted to know how management factors influence each other. This review focuses on primary and secondary productivity under different grazing intensities. We explore approaches to system optimization by contrasting the performance of different management systems. By reviewing existing studies, we summarize the differences in yak productivity and the reaction of vegetation under different management systems, and describe how management influences the interrelationship between livestock and vegetation. On this foundation, we analyse the problems in existing management systems and propose solutions to these problemsin yak grassland grazing systems.
