Introduction

Standard Framework and Technical Evolution

NY/T 2997-2016 is the core standard for grassland resource management in my country. It inherits and develops the GB/T 1.1-2009 standardization work guidelines and is managed by the National Technical Committee for Animal Husbandry Standardization (SAC/TC 274). For the first time, the standard uses the humidity index as a core classification indicator, realizing the quantitative association between climate factors and vegetation characteristics.


Analysis of grassland classification system

Classification level Division basis Typical example
First level: Class Climate zone + vegetation type group Temperature grassland class (A), alpine meadow class (I)
Second level: Type Dominant species combination A01 (Stipa grandis type), B05 (Stipa purpurogenum type)

Key technical indicators

Humidity threshold: 0.13 is used as the boundary between desert and grassland (e.g., the humidity requirement for temperate desert is ≤0.13)

Definition of dominant species: Plants with similar feeding value can be merged (e.g., the Leymus chinensis type includes the combination of Leymus chinensis and Stipa baikalense)


Implementation suggestions

  1. GPS coordinates and community photos should be recorded simultaneously during field surveys>
  2. The classification of artificial grassland should indicate the improvement method (e.g., reseeding/returning farmland to grassland)
  3. The mountain meadow class needs to be marked with the altitude gradient (the H class in the standard requires >500mm precipitation)
