IARRP | Updated: 2021-07-17

The Key Laboratory of Grassland Resource Monitoring Evaluation and Innovative Utilization of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China (formerly known as the Ministry of Agriculture of China) was established in 2017 as a specialized laboratory under the grassland and animal husbandry innovation discipline cluster.

The laboratory conducts experiments and research on the technology system of grassland resource information acquisition, dynamic monitoring of grassland resources, quantitative evaluation of grassland resources, and innovative utilization of grassland resources. The laboratory’s research covers information acquisition technology based on a long-term observation network, sky-land integrated information real-time acquisition technology, remote sensing acquisition technology of grassland production and environmental parameters, high-precision dynamic monitoring of multi-scale grassland resources, evaluation of grassland resource productivity and of grassland resource ecology, innovative utilization and potential tapping of grassland resources, technological innovation of the grassland ecological industry, grassland resource optimization management and decision support technology.

The laboratory currently has 30 researchers and is in charge of the National Field Observation and Research Station of the Hulunbuir Grassland Ecosystem and the Grassland Sub-center of the National Agricultural Data Center.
