英文摘要	The people of the Tibetan Plateau have received extensive attention from scholars because of their unique adaptability to the low temperature and anoxic environments.However,the Tibetan communities and their habitats in the low-altitude regions of the plateau have rarely been studied in a scientific manner.Based on the extraction of geographic information of 197 towns in the Hehuang Valley and on variance analysis,this study examines the habitats and subsistence strategies of the Tibetans and other major ethnic groups in the low-latitude region of the Tibetan Plateau.Our statistical results show that the annual average temperature of Tibetan habitats in the Hehuang Valley is relatively high.The relatively warm environment of the valley allows the Tibetans in that area to cultivate wheat and barley and raise cattle and sheep-a subsistence strategy significantly different from that of other Tibetans in the high-altitude regions in the Tibetan Plateau.In addition,the Tibetan communities in the Hehuang Valley include similar agri-pastoral ethnic groups (including Hui and Salar),both of which adopt similar subsistence strategies.The agricultural ethnic groups (Han and Tu) live in a relatively cool and humid environment facilitating agricultural production,while the agri-pastoral ethnic groups (Tibetan,Hui,and Salar) inhabit relatively warm and arid environment in the valley.Due to the lack of agricultural activities,agri-pastoral groups must also engage in animal husbandry to supplement their diet.In the Ando Tibetan region,the subsistence strategies of the ethnic groups are closely related to their physical environment.Those ethnic groups communicate among themselves,integrate,and influence each other,resulting in a diversified culture.This study proves that the habitat variation at a regional scale corresponds significantly to the variation of subsistence strategies.Our findings may further refine knowledge about the human-environmental relationships of Tibetans and lead future research towards using quantitative methods to analyse the intersection of physical environment and ethnic groups distribution.
