The grassland ecosystem is one of the largest terrestrial
ecosystems on our planet, providing essential ecological and production
functions. It plays a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, carbon
sequestration, soil health, and supports human livelihoods and economic
development. As we face increasing challenges such as climate change, land
degradation, and habitat loss, understanding and preserving grassland
ecosystems has become imperative.Grassland Research is an open-access
journal launched in 2022 at Lanzhou University, China. Grassland Research aims
to build a robust platform for the scientific community and capture the best
thinking and emerging knowledge in the wider field of grassland research. The journal
is dedicated to publishing high-quality, forward-thinking articles that will
serve a future world experiencing increased temperature and population density
compared to the recent past.
To facilitate academic
communication and exchange and dissemination of new ideas, we are excited to
announce the International Forum,
“Grassland Research: Contribution to Food Security & Global Change",
which will be held at Lanzhou University from 17 to 20 November, 2024. We
invite you to join us in this important dialogue as we come together to
highlight the significance of grasslands and the critical need for scientific
collaboration to enhance their future contribution to human needs.
