Description
For researching into vegetation on grass slopes, their types, characteristics, yield and prospect of application in livestock husbandry, a sampling investigation on the semi-location spot has been carried out. Jiangxi province is situated in Southeast China, belonging to the monsoon region in Southeast Asia. According to the principles of ecological condition and dominant species, the grass hillsides can be classified into 7 herbosa groups: Ischaemum ciliare grass-land on hilly land, Arundinella setosa grass-land on hilly land, Dicranopteris dichotoma grass-land on hilly land of low hills, Miscanthus sinensis grass-land on hilly land of mid-low hills, M. floridulus grass-land on hilly land of mid-low hills, Eulalia sp. grass-land on upland of mid-low hills, and A. hirta grass-land on mid-montane upland: and 3 meadow groups: Thicket meadow on hilltops, Thicket meadow in ravines and beaches, and Thicket meadow on hills and hill slopes near residential area. According to the topography, the grass hillsides display a geographical distribution regularity of being denser in the peripheral area and in the South than in the central part and in the North. They are all evergreen broad-leaved forest, having been subject to repeated damage with no chance of recovery for a long time. The main floras are of Poaceae and Cyperaceae in tropical and subtropical regions, with the associated woody plants. There are characteristics of seasonal variation in herbosa biomass the fluctuation of rainfall and temperature, hence, the grass hillsides are good natural pastures.
