摘要
Diagnosing the degradation degree of grassland ecosystem is the basis for ecological restoration. However, there is no literature documenting how to quantify the grassland degradation degree by using visible indicators. In this study, an integrated degradation index was developed to assess the grassland condition on the basis of applicability and certainty analysis through a cases study from degraded alpine grassland on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China.
