China steps up efforts in field observation to protect grassland ecology
China has established 167 national field observation and research stations to strengthen grassland protection and ecological conservation. These stations have yielded significant data and helped develop targeted restoration measures for degraded grasslands.
China has set up 167 national field observation and research stations across the country to protect its grassland ecology. The stations, located in various regions, play a crucial role in ecological conservation and disaster prevention. Decades of observations at one such station in Hulun Buir, Inner Mongolia, have generated over 20 million data records, reshaping understanding of local biodiversity. The station has also launched innovative technologies, including the world's first grazing robot-UAV system. Additionally, the station has promoted grassland restoration technologies, increasing grass yield by 2 to 6 times in a demonstration area of over 100,000 mu. The stations serve as a bridge between science and society, supporting policy formulation and cultivating graduate students in grassland research.
