摘要: Grasslands are a vitally important ecosystem, supporting wide range of ecosystem services and high levels biodiversity. As consequence, they have long been focus for ecologists, playing host to some the world's longest-running ecological experiments providing inspiration many long-standing theories debates. Because field grassland ecology is broad, encompassing areas ecology, this article picks particular debate development look at recent advances. The include relationships between diversity productivity, stability service provision, global change threats from nutrient addition, invasive species, climate change, plant soil interactions.
