| Abstract | Mankind has been creating, maintaining, and converting Imperata cylindrical grasslands for centuries. As human population increases, and forests disappear, many believe that these grasslands are a largely under-utilized resource. In S.E. Asia Imperata grasslands cover an estimated 35 million ha. A more intensive use of this area can increase their contribution to the
local and national economies, and enhance their environmental services. The ‘Imperata issue’, however, has many aspects and naive simple solutions do not work. |
