长期生态学研究和试验示范为高寒草地的适应性管理提供理论与技术支撑

he traditional theory holds that the extreme climatic environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has created the potential for regional ecosystem sensitivity and vulnerability making it a worldwide problem of ecosystem management, maintenance, and restoration. Haibei Research Station of Alpine Meadow Ecosystem was established by the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Long-term monitoring of ecosystem component revealed the biological mechanism of alpine grassland response to climate change in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, explored the succession process of alpine grassland degradation under grazing disturbance, and clarified the biological mechanism of maintaining alpine grassland stability. The adaptive management model of alpine grassland based on ecological process science was put forward, and the exploration of ecological hydrological process of alpine grassland was initiated. It leads the basic research of applied ecology of alpine grassland and provides technical support for regional sustainable development.
