摘要: Grasslands provide a number of ecosystem services that have been essential to human well-being since pre-historical times (Gibson 2009). Yet they also represent the most endangered terrestrial biome due conversion into agricultural systems (Sala 2001). The grassland covers 15 million km2 (11 %) Earth’s surface with non-woody vegetation, excluding deserts and savannas Natural grasslands encompass vast regions including North American Great Plains, Eurasian steppes Russia, China Mongolia, South Pampas
