Anotácia knihy

The grassland ecosystem on the global alpine area has been degraded seriously over the past half century. It can be compared to the Dust-Bowlification, that is, the degradation of American grasslands over the last century. This book was compiled by outstanding researchers who have been engaged in field research on the global alpine area for over 20 years, with the aim of describing the degradation and restoration of grassland on the global alpine area. The long-term field studies and personal experience of the authors describe the process of grassland degradation and the difficulties in the restoration efforts.Grassland Degradation, Restoration and Sustainable Management of Global Alpine Area involves the stripping and regeneration of the grassland’s mattic epipedon. The stripping of the mattic epipedon is a unique phenomenon on the global alpine area, which has left many unanswered questions. Is stripping degradation an inherent, inevitable feature of the alpine grassland ecosystem? Is it an avoidable occurrence? Why is ecological restoration of stripped degraded grassland extremely difficult? Does restoration rely on reconstructing the grassland’s mattic epipedon? Or can it be done in another way? How can sustainable ecological restoration be achieved? Frontline researchers in global alpine area have used observational evidence from field studies to respond to these questions and to present a comprehensive picture of the problems and drivers of grassland degradation. The climate-environment interaction mechanism of grassland degradation is revealed by the holistic approach in this book. Ecological restoration is discussed through social and economic participation, and past and present restoration actions are analyzed from the perspective of traditional culture and ecological ethics. The future sustainable management of grassland under climate change and social and economic development trend is discussed. This book will alert people to the dangers of degradation and to the difficulties encountered in ecological restoration. Thoroughly presents the processes of grassland degradation from the novel viewpoint of ‘the stripping of mattic epipedonFeatures the most recent studies to provide new research evidence for long-term grassland restoration efforts on the global alpine areaContains in-depth analysis of the processes, mechanisms, and drivers of grassland degradation. In addition, this book will discuss the restoration of degraded grassland systematically, using restoration theory, technology, and effect and will include the contribution of the social economy, traditional culture, and ecological ethics
