Abstract:Purpose
In the fragmented and isolated Zhongtie Military Protection Area of the Sanjiangyuan National Park, endangered ungulate species—including horse musk deer, blue sheep, and red deer—face significant risks due to habitat degradation and loss, exacerbated by climate change and human activities. This study aims to understand the habitat preferences of ungulates and predict their spatial distributions within the park, contributing to conservation efforts amid climatic shifts. Due to the scarcity of detailed… Show more
