Grassland Sciences in Northern China: A Report for the CSCPRC
One of the goals of the Committee on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China (CSCPRC) is to gather and disseminate information on scientific and scholarly activities in China. The report gives a general overview of the ecosystems and the major human land use patterns in this region. This is followed by a review of the Chinese literature on these grasslands and a survey of the principle scientific institutions engaged in this research. The final section presents the perspectives of U.S. and British scientists who have worked on environmental, social, economic, and political issues related to grasslands in China and around the world.
Outcomes:
The primary objective of this report is to provide new, detailed information on grasslands and grassland sciences in China. The results of the study give a striking example of the complex political, economic, and environmental interaction faced by nations around the world. The report illustrates the need for interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the environment. It also alludes to formidable institutional barriers that inhibit scholarship of this type.
