A review of maintenance，loss and recovery of stability of alpineKobresia humilis meadow on Tibetan Plateau

Alpine Kobresia humilis meadows are the main vegetation types on Tibetan Plateau, theirs strong ecosystem stability can play a role in maintaining the plateau ecosystem service functions. The alpine K.humilis meadow stability，including its stability maintain mechanism，loss processes and rehabilitating ways were reviewed in order to provide the theoretical basis of sustainable utilization and recovery methods to the degraded grassland of alpine K.humilis meadow on Tibetan Plateau.
