Advances in the Study of Shrub-Herbs Interaction of Shrub Encroachment in Grassland
In recent years,the grassland ecosystem has undergone drastic changes,and the phenom-enon of shrub encroachment has intensified.The essence of shrub encroachment is the change of the direc-tion and intensity of shrub-herb interaction,which leads to the change of community structure.This paper reviews the recent research progress from three aspects:the main influencing factors,the mechanism of shrub-herbaceous interaction and its influence on community succession,and discusses the changing trend of shrub-herb interaction and its influence on grassland community under the influence of various environ-mental factors.In order to provide reference for the dynamic changes of shrub-herb and the prediction of the direction of shrub encroachment grassland community succession under the background of global cli-mate change.It also provided theoretical basis for the restoration and management of shrub encroachment grassland in China.
