Tundra deterioration caused by climate change underlies general grassland degradation throughout the Qinghai plateau region, while overgrazing makes the grassland more vulnerable to the assault of rat plague. 56 rats can eat up a sheep's daily feed of grass. Nearly one thousand rat holes in each hectare not only wreck havoc on the grassland itself but undermines the grassland's capacity to preserve water, thus in turn aggravated grassland deterioration finally leads to desertification.Locations:Asia-China-East Asia-QinghaiDate:9 Jun, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / John NovisMaximum size:5000px X 3344pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Day-Global warming-Grass-KWCI (GPI)-OutdoorsShoot:Yellow River Documentation Tour in ChinaFrom 1966 to 2000, glaciers in the Yellow River Source region retreated by 17% in area, causing the loss of 2.39 billion m3 of water from source of the river.
