Abstract

Alpine grasslands are distributed widely worldwide at high-elevated ranges and plateaus and provide important ecosystem functions and ecological services. This chapter reviews the historic changes in global research and grassland management practices on alpine grasslands in the past 100 years, including (1) analysis of the temporal development of the study sites, subject areas, and research topics and themes on the alpine grasslands; (2) the main ecosystem functions and ecological services of alpine grasslands; (3) the adaptive management practices under the background of climate change and grazing; and (4) future research hotspots to improve the alpine grassland management strategies.
