Abstract: Grassland ecosystem is one of important components in the terrestrial ecosystem, which has a critical effect on the global change and ecosystem functions. The current utilization condition and problems in the grassland management were summarized, and the impacts of grazing, as a key utilization method, on the plants, soil and animals in the grassland ecosystem were reviewed. It was concluded that feasible grazing could promote the increase of grassland productivity and keep the high biodiversity, so it was the key to control the appropriate stocking rate in the grassland management for the sustainable animal husbandry.
