“…Species that exhibit heightened sensitivity to climatic factors, such as drought, heavy rainfall, and temperature fluctuations, are particularly vulnerable and face the risk of habitat loss and extinction [67]. Extensive research has demonstrated that human-induced disturbances constitute a primary driver of species decline and potential extinctions [64]. Our results highlighted the significant roles of PRE and TEM in shaping the habitat distribution of large wild herbivores.…”

“…However, with the increase in the most representative large wild herbivores such as the Tibetan wild ass and the Tibetan gazelle, the conflict between grass and livestock in the YRSNP will become more and more prominent [55]. The competitive eating conflict between human and wild animals will either cause a disadvantage in the biodiversity conservation or a downward economic development problem [64]. In addition, a large number of herbivores will also lead to the consumption of grassland, shrubs and other land resources, which destroy the landscape of the YRSNP.…”

The wild large herbivores inhabiting the Yellow-River-Source National Park (YRSNP) are confronted with a significant threat from climate change and human activities. In response to these detrimental influences, measures have been proposed by the government, such as the Ecological Conservation and Restoration Project in the Sanjiangyuan Region (ECRPSR) and the establishment of the Sanjiangyuan National Park (SNP). To advance species diversity, it is crucial to investigate the spatial distribution of large herbivores, identify factors influencing their distribution, and address conflicts arising from divergent plans within the YRSNP. In this study, unmanned aerial vehicles were employed for surveying the distribution of the Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang) and Tibetan gazelle (Procapra picticaudata). The findings indicate that the optimal habitat area for Tibetan wild ass is 437.16 km2, while for Tibetan gazelle, it is 776.46 km2. Precipitation and the human footprint index emerge as the primary factors influencing the habitat distribution of large herbivores within the YRSNP. Under the influence of the ECRPSR, there was a noteworthy expansion of the habitat area for Tibetan wild ass by 791.25 km2, and for Tibetan gazelle, it expanded by 1612.94 km2. From a wildlife conservation standpoint, this study proposes the establishment of a wildlife refuge in the YRSNP, effective coordination of conflicts between various functional zones and plans, preservation of suitable habitats for large herbivores, and the provision of a scientific foundation to reconcile development and conservation conflicts in the region, while concurrently fostering biodiversity conservation.

“…Soil is considered an important and necessary natural resource for sustaining life on the planet. In this sense, the creation of indexes from soil management variables can corroborate a basis for the elaboration of new models that help in the planning of actions before the different uses and occupations of the land and that can be used in the management of the degradation of the natural condition and anthropization of environments (Ma et al 2021).…”

For the agro-environmental management the use of indicator variables from soil management combined in the form of an index may represent an alternative for the characterization from the quality of management and its response to the level of the environmental fragilization from locals with agrosilvopastoris activities in watersheds. In this scope, the work associated, through the method of dimensional analysis some of the variable indicators from the soil’s quality management aiming applicability in the agro-environmental management of agrosilvopastoral activities, these are: the geometric mean diameter of the aggregates, mechanical resistance to penetration, permeability coefficient, natural covering, the local of the agrosilvopastoral management, organic matter, effective root depth, exposed soil and analogue anthropic pressure in the management area. The application of dimensional analysis on these variables enabled the elaboration of six dimensionless indexes, two with applicability in relational analysis of areas and four applicable in the analysis of embrittlement and quality of soil management.

“…Consequently, identifying the patterns in human-wildlife interactions is a fascinating tool for the development of future mitigation measures to foster human coexistence with wildlife. While previous research on the patterns of HWIs has been extensive [37][38][39][40][41][42], research regarding active volcanic mountain landscapes that are surrounded by human settlements are rare.…”

A comprehensive understanding of the consequences of human interactions with mammals is a critical factor in supporting and conserving species in landscapes dominated by humans, which are increasingly threatened. This study aimed to identify the spatial and temporal interactions between humans and mammals. A non-parametric statistical approach with kernel density was used to detect human–mammal temporal interactions. The species interaction factor (SIF) was applied to calculate the spatial overlap based on the two-species occupancy detection model. The activity patterns of medium mammals were nocturnal, diurnal, and cathemeral. The human–medium mammal pairs with SIF values that were <1 and statistically significant included the human–long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) pair, the human–leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) pair, and the human–barking deer (Muntiacus muntjac) pair. Based on their SIF values and the high overlap in their activity times, the human–macaque pairings had a high risk of conflict. Barking deer and leopard cats displayed a coexistence with humans via time-sharing activities. Due to temporal niche variations with human activities, the existence of nocturnal mammals was relatively uninterrupted. This study showed that most mammals are able to adapt spatially and temporally to various human activities. Nonetheless, efforts to mitigate human–wildlife conflict must be maintained, particularly in the case of severely endangered species, such as the Sunda pangolin.
