Kobresia is a subfamily of Cyperaceae, a perennial herbaceous plant that stores a large amount of organic carbon and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) in the soil. This type of grass is soft and appreciated by all kinds of farm animals. It is one of the predominantly excellent fodder on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its good growth plays an important role in developing the local economy and maintaining ecological balance on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as well. The main objectives of this review are to systematically present and analyze the factors responsible for the low germination rate of Kobresia and to analyze the physical and chemical methods that are used in order to alleviate dormancy and to improve the germination rate of Kobresia seeds. This is performed in order to lay the foundation for future research in this field. At the same time, we have analyzed the research deficiencies and formulated recommendations for the future. This review will provide comprehensive information in order to reduce the cost of planting Kobresia, as well as to provide theoretical support and technical guidance for the purposes of ecosystem restoration and livestock development.
嵩草属是莎草科的一个亚科，是一种多年生草本植物，在土壤中储存大量有机碳和养分（氮、磷等）。这种草质地柔软，受到各类家畜喜爱。它是青藏高原上主要的优质饲料之一。其良好生长对发展当地经济以及维持青藏高原的生态平衡也起着重要作用。本综述的主要目的是系统地呈现和分析导致嵩草发芽率低的因素，并分析为缓解休眠和提高嵩草种子发芽率而采用的物理和化学方法。这样做是为了为该领域未来的研究奠定基础。同时，我们分析了研究不足并为未来制定了建议。本综述将提供全面信息，以降低嵩草种植成本，并为生态系统恢复和畜牧业发展提供理论支持和技术指导。
