Influences of Plateau Zokor Burrowing on Soil Erosion and Nutrient Loss in Alpine Meadows in the Yellow River Source Zone of West China

Plateau zokors (<i>Eospalax baileyi</i>) are an agent actively involved in causing soil erosion and meadow degradation in the Yellow River Source Zone of West China. This study aims to quantify the amount of soil and nutrient loss from zokor mounds in relation to slope gradient and rainf...
