Short summary
Plateau pika is common on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Since pika dig burrows and graze on grassland to compete with yaks and sheep, they are believed to be a pest. They have been killed by humans since the 1950s. However, there are no serious studies that quantitatively evaluate the grazing and excavating effects of pika on grassland. With the advancement of UAV technology, we did a pilot study to evaluate the grazing and burying effects of pika.
