内蒙古双峰驼生态作用及数量分布变化综述

Abstract

Abstract: Based on an extensive review of the literature, the distribution patterns of Camelidae animals were summarized. Further data collation and systematic analysis of the development history, breed standards, and current population distribution of the Bactrian camel in China revealed that the geographical range of the core distribution area of Bactrian camels has changed little from historical times to the present. Current breed standards remain incomplete, and Bactrian camels in Inner Mongolia are mainly distributed in semi-desert and desert regions. The behavioral characteristics of the Bactrian camel are well adapted to desert ecological environments, exerting direct impacts on vegetation distribution in desert steppes and on the habitats of small animals, making it an ecologically friendly livestock species. An analysis of the population distribution patterns of Bactrian camels in Inner Mongolia from 1986 to 2023 (nearly 40 years) and their interspecies population relationships with cattle, horses, and sheep revealed that the Bactrian camel population exhibited a "U"-shaped trend. In the core production area (Alxa League), the number of Bactrian camels showed a positive correlation with the number of cattle and horses, but a negative correlation with the number of sheep. Meanwhile, an analysis of the correlation between demographic and economic factors and camel population size indicated that the Bactrian camel population is closely related to the disposable income of agricultural and pastoral areas, and negatively correlated with the population in the core production area. The above-mentioned patterns of population changes in camels, interspecies population relationships with other livestock, and correlations with demographic and economic factors provide new solutions for ecological management of grassland desertification caused by overgrazing. Combining the ecological and economic value of the Bactrian camel in arid regions, it is urged that relevant authorities give priority to strengthening systematic research and the conservation and utilization of this excellent livestock species.
