Advances in the climate change influencing grassland ecosystems in Inner Mongolia

Abstract: Climate change and its impact on ecosystems have become one of the hot topics, and studing and understanding the impact of climate change on grassland ecosytems were important to adapt and respond to climate change. This study reviewed the advance in climate change influencing grassland ecosystems in Inner Mongolia from soil, vegetation, livestock and pastoral economy. And then this study proposed some issues in this field. Finally, the present study pointed out that it was necessary to strengthen understanding of grassland degradation and explain the problem of grassland carbon cycling and explore regulation of grazing optimization and implement adaptive management actively. The advices would provide some help for current and future research.
