An overview and prospects for grassland adaptive management in China

Abstract

Abstract: At present, grassland in China is severely deteriorating. Existing grassland management models cannot deal with the complexity and uncertainty in grassland ecosystems. As a framework for dealing with complex environmental management problems, adaptive management has been given close attention. This paper overviews the development of adaptive management in the world and analyzes the prospects for grassland management in China. There are several measures to be taken: 1) Stressing basic research on the theory of ecosystems; 2) Integrating multi-dimensional knowledge; 3) Developing an appropriate grassland management model; 4) Building digital grassland information networks. All these are important aspects of implementing grassland adaptive management, providing the basis for grassland management and conservation.
