摘要：As a highly productive and sensitive ecosystem, plateau wetlands provide indispensable habitats for Grus nigricollis, an endangered species of crane. However, the destruction and degeneration of plateau wetlands caused by climate change and human disturbance have influenced the habitats and biological behaviors of Grus nigricollis. Previous studies have ignored the importance of particular habitats to the continued existence of Grus nigricollis, especially with regard to extremely fragile plateau wetland systems. In this review, the importance of plateau wetlands for the breeding, overwintering and foraging of Grus nigricollis is summarized; the impact of human activities and climate change on Grus nigricollis and on plateau wetland habitats is also presented. Further monitoring and research is required to produce substantive suggestions vis-A -vis future, and better, conservation of Grus nigricollis and its habitats.
