| 12 | Editorial显示文摘It is our honor to offer you this inaugural issue of Grassland Research.Grassland is the largest terrestrial ecosystem on the earth.It produces an array of goods,including food,feed,fiber,and fuel,and ecosystem services as varied as weather amelioration,carbon sequestration,biodiversity enhancement,soil conservation,recreation,and the maintenance of the atmospheric composition.Historically,grassland has played an essential role in the development of civilization.Humans would likely be very different without their coevolution with grassland.The saying“All flesh is grass”indicates partially the relationship between humans and grassland.Currently,the world is facing many serious challenges and problems,including global warming,food shortages,water scarcity,land degradation and desertification,soil erosion,flooding,and other illnesses.These challenges will become more severe in the coming years,making the role of grasslands in our agricultural and ecological systems ever more important.Of course,grasslands cannot solve all these problems,but they can play a positive role in our future welfare.The development and application of science and technology,and the support of policy,will ensure that grasslands play a significant role in solving these problems.It is the obligation of grassland scientists together with other stakeholders to redouble our efforts to understand and improve grasslands. | Zhibiao Nan Charlie Brummer Bernhard Schmid Warwick Brabazon Badgery Zeng‐Yu Wang Jin‐Sheng He Yingjun Zhang | 2022 | Grassland Research2022，1，1： | 0 |
