Abstract: Grassland ecosystem has played an important role in global sulphur cycle, which is one of the basic mechanisms of the terrestrial ecosystem material cycle. The research on grassland ecosystem sulphur cycle is meaningful to systematiclly analyze the scientific significance of grassland vegetation in global climate change and sulphur balance. This paper reviews the recent literature on grassland ecosystem sulphur cycle include the soil, the plant and the atmosphere sulphur pool and their controlling factors. It aims at grasping the characteristics and the regularity of sulphur cycle, further discussing on the transformations of sulphur between the pools and their migration and convertion laws. Additionally, some issues unsettled in grassland sulphur cycle and the related research emphases in the fu-ture are proposed.

Key words: Grassland ecosystem, Sulphur cycle, Sulphur pool
