Research on Ecological Restoration Evaluation Index System for Construction Projects in Qinghai Tibet Plateau

Abstract

In the “Ecological Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau” released in April 2023, it is stipulated that “the state strengthens the ecological protection and restoration of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, adheres to the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasses, sands, and ice, and implements a systematic governance that focuses on natural restoration and combines natural restoration with artificial restoration.” Currently, there is relatively little research on the ecological restoration evaluation index system in high-altitude areas represented by the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in China. This article studies the climate and soil characteristics of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region and selects ecological restoration evaluation index systems suitable for high-altitude areas, including biological and community evaluation, soil and water conservation function evaluation, soil and water physical and chemical property evaluation, and landscape pattern evaluation.
