Abstract: Our country has the world＇s second largest grassland area in the world,effective,efficient,continuous,large-scale monitoring of the conditions and its dynamic changes of the grassland,plays an important supporting role in reasonable utilization of grassland resources to realize the sustainable development of grassland animal husbandry.In this paper,research progress and application of hyperspectral remote sensing in grassland were reviewed.The results showed that hyperspectral remote sensing with its fast,convenient and accurate advantages had been widely used in grassland yield estimation,grassland degradation monitoring,and quality measurement of forage,grassland species,flowering meadows and recognition and so on in the regional or global scale.In the future,high resolution image datas,combined with remote sensing ecological measurements and a variety of advanced technology,and a variety of data analysis and processing method to achieve quantitative analysis of grassland and dynamic monitoring,has a broad application prospect.
