It offers an up-to-date review of the recent advances in grassland research in China, discusses the climatic and physical conditions governing the grasslands, describes their types and distribution, and introduces a new classification scheme for grassland ecosystems. Further, it details the plant, animal, and microbial compositions of each grassland ecosystem type, examining the above and below ground relationships between phytomass, vegetation succession, and past/current management practices with a particular focus on the steppes in China. It also includes references that are only available in the Chinese language. This scientifically rigorous book offers insights into knowledge gaps for the scientific community and identifies pressing issues facing practitioners of grassland ecology and management. It can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology, environmental science, natural resource management, agriculture, and other relevant fields, and is also a valuable reference resource for researchers studying drylands in China or around the globe. 410 0$aEcosystems of China,$x2730-5473 ;$v2 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aEcology 606 $aGrassland ecology$zChina 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aGrassland ecology 676 $a574.5264 700 $aLi$b Linghao$0849345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910422646403321 996 $aGrassland ecosystems of China$91896842 997 $aUNINA
