草地生态补偿研究进展

Progress in the study on the ecological compensation of grassland

草地生态环境的日益恶化已经成为阻碍经济社会发展的瓶颈。随着人类对草地生态系统服务功能不可替代性的深入认识,通过生态补偿使草地生态服务的受益者支付消费成本,以促进草地生态安全屏障保护与生态服务价值增值。在总结国内外生态补偿研究文献的基础上,对草地生态补偿的内涵、理论基础、生态补偿机制及国内外研究现状进行了系统总结,分析了目前草地生态补偿研究中存在的主要问题,提出了未来研究的发展方向。

Deterioration of the vast grasslands ecological environment in China has accelerated due to intensification of human activities. This deterioration has become an obstacle to economic and social development. Recognition that the grassland ecosystem is very important and irreplaceable has resulted in the in vestigation of ways to limit the deterioration. One system is ecological compensation in which those who obtain benefits pay costs of ecological services that serve to restore and maintain the ecosystem. Literature from China and abroad relating to ecological compensation, including the definition and rationale, the mechanism of ecological compensation were reviewed in this study. The types of studies in the previous studies were analyzed, including the research methods, contents and scale of ecological compensation. The direction of future studies on grassland ecological compensation was also discussed.
