青藏高原拥有中国最大的天然草原面积。草地生态系统是该地区畜牧业发展的物质基础，提供着生物多样性保护、水土流失防治、局地气候调节等生态系统服务功能。草地生态系统服务功能在维持当地农民生计和保护生态环境方面发挥着重要作用。基于农户调查数据，分析了青藏高原东北部地区农户对绿色食品的感知和选择偏好，并研究了农户感知对其选择偏好的影响。结果表明，青藏高原东北部地区农户对生态系统重要性、脆弱性、危害程度的感知最强。研究发现，农户对提供直接用于生产生活的GES有较强的选择偏好，而对调控、文化和支持GES的选择偏好较低。农户感知的重要性、脆弱性和受损程度均影响农户的选择偏好，而感知的脆弱性对农户的选择偏好没有显著影响。本文采用定性研究方法，对农户对GES的评价进行了研究。这为青藏高原生态系统服务偏好研究提供了新的思路，也为制定科学合理的生态保护政策提供了参考。
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has the largest natural grassland area in China. The grassland ecosystem is the material basis for the development of animal husbandry in this region, providing ecosystem services such as biodiversity protection, soil erosion prevention and local climate regulation. Grassland ecosystem services (GES) play an important role in maintaining the livelihood of local farmers and protecting the ecological environment. Based on household survey data, this paper analyzed farmers' perception and choice preference of GES in the northeastern region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and studied the influence of farmers' perception on their choice preference. The results showed that farmers in the northeastern region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had the strongest perceptions of importance, manageability, vulnerability and damage degree of provisioning GES. We found that farmers had a strong choice preference for provisioning GES directly used in production and life, but a lower preference for regulating, cultural and supporting GES. Farmers' perceived importance, manageability and damage degree all affected their choice preference, but the perceived vulnerability has no significant impact. This paper studied farmers' evaluation of GES through qualitative methods. This provides a new insight for the study of ecosystem service preference, and a reference for the formulation of scientific and rational ecological protection policies in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
