理解自然界中生物群落的形成与构建机制是生态学研究的核心问题之一。当前,研究者对于人类活动干扰如何影响生物群落构建以及其内在各功能组分的化学计量学特征仍所知甚少。在全球范围内,家畜的放牧活动与割草是草地生态系统主要的两种人为管理方式。这些人类活动可以对草地系统的土壤理化性质、植被与昆虫的群落结构与组成,以及三者的碳（C）,氮（N）和磷（P）含量及其化学计量学特征产生深远影响。在过去几十年,大量的研究对放牧与割草对草地生态系统土壤、植物和昆虫群落进行了单独的研究。然而,很少研究同时比较两种管理方式对土壤、植物和昆虫等不同生物与非生物组成特征的影响,尤其是在同一个草地生态系统中。这些研究不足,一方面极大地限制了对自然草地生物群落构建方式与机制的理解,另一方面不利于相关决策部门制定合理科学的草地管理措施。在我国东北的松嫩草地,本研究通过一个为期4年的野外原位控制实验,开展中等强度的家畜放牧（牛）与人工割草如何影响草地生态系统土壤、植物和昆虫群落特征的比较研究。一方面比较了放牧与割草对草地土壤理化性质,植物与昆虫群落结构与组成等特征的影响;另一方面,比较了放牧与割草如何影响土壤、优势种植物（羊草...
