Research advances on pasture management model
The healthy and production level of natural pasture,which is one of the most important utilization terminals of grassland,depend on its management level.With the developing of information technologies,and the quantifying and segmenting of ecological studies,studies on pasture management model and how to use these models to guide actual production have become one of the hotspots of modern grassland agricultural study.As one of grazing system models,pasture management model is the decision support system(DSS) of grassland production and livestock production.It simulates the effects of different production and management modes,and guides actual production,by collecting data of grassland growth,livestock growth,livestock production and management modes.To provide references for domestic researches on pasture management model,research advances on pasture management model at home and abroad were reviewed,and further prospect on development of pasture management model in future was made in this study.
