Vegetation on grasslands has been disturbed distinctly by the development of tourist resources.In this paper,the assessment process of vegetation degeneration at tourist spots in grasslands was established,and a case study on assessment of vegetation degeneration in the Snankoh Grasslands was carried out.At first,the assessment system of vegetation degeneration in the grasslands was established,which included the height of grass group,density,coverage,richness index,diversity index and evenness index of plants.The results of assessment revealed that the vegetation growth at the tourist spots in the Snankoh Grasslands was highly sensitive to the disturbance of tourist activities.Vehicle rolling was the most serious damage to vegetation.As the increase of the distance to the center of inference,the degree of vegetation degeneration was decreased obviously.As the reduction of degree of vegetation degeneration,the quantities of plant species,genera and families were increased obviously,the competition among plant species was more significant,Plantago major and Potentilla anserine lost their competitiveness gradually,and the competitiveness of Polygonum aviculare was enhanced significantly.The assessed results of vegetation degeneration at the tourist spots in the grasslands based on entropy-weight method consisted with the previous study results.
