The application of remote sensing to ecosystem health assessment in temperate rangelands

摘要：

Introduction Grassland,covering one fourth of the land vegetation areas ( Sims,1988),plays an important role world wide ecologically and economically ( Han,2007).The temperate grasslands in Inner Mongolia,China have been the focus in the last several decades as the sand storm is getting severe annually in China.It not only affects the environment in China,but also plays a role in the global circulation.Therefore,monitoring the health of the grassland condition is the purpose of this study.
