内蒙古草原家庭牧场可持续发展研究

内蒙古草原作为全球干旱、半干旱区的重要组成部分，是诸多研究关注的热点区域。家庭牧场作为内蒙古草原基本的生产和管理单元，探析其可持续发展有助于为实现区域可持续发展提供科学依据。本研究阐述了内蒙古草原家庭牧场的形成历程及定义；并分别侧重自然生态系统、社会经济系统、自然-经济-社会复合生态系统3个方面总结了其研究进展；最后分别在坚持草牧业发展理念、依托景观可持续性科学指导、加强3个界面耦合研究、扩展沙地草原、关注未来发展模式、重视技术支撑等6个方面就内蒙古草原家庭牧场进行了研究展望。希望本研究在为内蒙古草原可持续发展提供科学支撑的同时，亦能为全球干旱、半干旱草原区的可持续发展提供参考。

Sustainable development of family ranches in the Inner Mongolian grassland

The Inner Mongolian grasslands are an integral part of the arid and semi-arid steppes of central and eastern Asia， and are currently attracting topical research in a number of fields. The family ranch is the primary production and management unit of the area. It is helpful to provide the scientific basis for regional sustainability by exploring the requirements for sustainable development of the family ranch. Firstly， this article expounds the formation process and definition of the family ranch in the Inner Mongolian grasslands. Next， recent research progress relating to family ranch sustainability from the perspectives of the natural ecosystem， the socio-economic system， and the natural-economic-social system， is summarized. Finally， six current research thrusts for further enhancing the sustainability of the family ranch are discussed. These include： Adherence to the concept of grass-based livestock husbandry， reliance on the guidance of the landscape sustainability considerations， strengthening coupling of research across three interfaces， expanding sandy grasslands， focusing on future development models and recognition of the importance of technical support. It is hoped that this article will elicit more targeted suggestions for the sustainable development of the family ranch in the Inner Mongolian grasslands and provide reference information for developing the sustainability of arid and semi-arid grassland systems worldwide.
