Track 3-02: Benefits from Ecosystem Services Derived from Grasslands
Description
International meetings in Durban and Doha reach an agreement on a second commitment to the Kyoto Protocol which is planned to be phased in from 2013. China has is-sued two major papers to guide green house gas management, namely the Work Programs of Greenhouse Gases Emission Control for the 12th Five-Year Plan and China's Policies and Actions for Addressing Climate Change. The primary mission of these policies and regula-tions is to improve farmland and grassland carbon sink by implementing grassland protection policy such as forage-livestock balance, grassland enclosure, rest grazing and rotational grazing, controlling grazing capacity and grass-land degradation. Record shows that almost 93% carbon is in the soil of grassland ecosystem, grassland ecosystem will be carbon sink with high stability (Wei Bin et al. 2012).
