The steppe vegetation types are quite rich here, which is typical in the pastoral area of China. From the middle of last century, due to the growth of the amounts of livestock and drought, grassland degradation is becoming more and more serious. In the three consecutive years from1999to2001of serious natural disasters, the long term accumulation of the ecological crisis occurred intently, the steppe ecology became worsen sharply, the animal agriculture economy suffered significant loss, the income level of pastoralists decreased obviously, and also exerted adverse effects on the ecological security of our country.
