Application of community mechanism in grassland resource management in agropastoral areas

The problem of grassland degradation in agropastoral areas was extremely serious and the technical approaches could not resolve this problem due to the limitation of traditional grassland management and grassland tenure. The grassland resource management and utilization in Yanchi County of Ningxia were studied in this paper. The limitation of government oriented management and marketoriented management was analyzed, and the necessity, feasibility and difficulty of grassland resource management by community were discussed as well in order to find out a sustainable approach for grassland management and the community mechanism might be an effective way to maintain the sustainable grassland utilization.
