Perspectives in researches on grassland ecology for the early21st century in China

Abstract

Abstract: Grassland degeneration is a prominent problem in China. More in-depth studies should be carried out on the key problem-grassland degeneration for Chinese grassland ecologists in the early 21st century. Some hot research fields were restoration ecology,interface ecology,grazing ecology,health diagnoses and evaluation for grasslands. Among them,restoration ecology was the foundation for restoring degenerative grasslands; interface ecology involved with the point of contact for analyzing degenerative grasslands; grazing ecology was the effective way to control degenerative grasslands; diagnoses of grassland health benefited accurately appraising degenerative levels of grasslands; and evaluation for grassland was also considered as an estimation on services and benefits of grassland ecosystems.

Key words: Grassland ecology, Grassland degeneration, Grassland ecosystem, composting, maturity, manure, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR).
