Abstract:

China has large area of grasslands, accounting for about 40% of the national total areas. Inner Mongolia grassland comprises more than 20% of China's total grasslands. In the recent past, Inner Mongolia grassland has been undergoing successive degradation driven by both natural factors and human disturbance, which exerts negative influence on carbon sequestration ability of the ecosystem. This paper reviewed the criteria, degree and current situation of grassland degradation in Inner Mongolia. Driving forces of grassland degradation in the region were probed in the aspects of human activities, climate change and material inflow and outflow in the grassland ecosystem. The basic progress of carbon cycle and the impact of grassland degradation on carbon sequestration were discussed. This paper also introduced the carbon sequestration potential of degraded grassland under varied restoration implementations. Finally, the strategy for preventing grassland from degradation and for enhancing the carbon sequestration ability was recommended.

Key words: Grassland degradation, Carbon sequestration, Driving force, Grassland management

摘要:

全球变化背景下草地生态系统的退化及碳循环过程是生态学、地学、植物学和农学领域的研究热点之一。本文介绍了草地退化的概念、层次及退化现状,探讨了开垦、放牧、气候变化等人为因素和自然因素对内蒙古地区草地退化的驱动作用,重点分析了草地退化对碳循环过程的影响机制及退化草地恢复的固碳潜力,以期加深对草地生态系统退化及恢复过程中碳循环动态变化的理解。本文提出了内蒙古退化草地恢复过程中尚需解决的主要问题以及草业和畜牧业可持续发展的战略计划,以期为草地碳增汇方面的研究提供新的思路,并为决策者合理调整草地利用和保护布局提供理论基础。
