Rangeland degradation in Mongolia: A systematic review of the evidence
Journal of Arid Environments, 2022Abstract Rangeland degradation compromises the functioning of extensive natural ecosystems and threatens pastoral livelihoods worldwide. Yet, defining rangeland degradation and its underlying causes remains controversial. In this study we review rangeland studies to identify different approaches used to assess rangeland degradation in Mongolia, where

Assessing Rangeland Sensitivity to Degradation in North Tibet
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2022Rangelands are the dominant ecosystems in the Tibetan Plateau and the most critical livestock production resources. However, a large quantity of rangelands has degraded in North Tibet, with declined forage yield and invaded unpalatable weeds.

Rangeland Degradation Control in China: A Policy Review
, 2016In order to prevent rangeland degradation and to recover the ecological services provided by the rangeland ecosystem, China has implemented a series of ecological policies (EPs) since the beginning of the 21st century. Nevertheless, the impacts of these policies are greatly debated in terms of ecosystem, herders’ livelihoods, animal husbandry and ...

Rangeland degradation in North China: Perceptions of pastoralists
Environmental Research, 2010Rangeland degradation, a worldwide problem, is serious in China, especially in the Northern provinces. To assess the pastoralists' perceptions toward rangeland trend and degradation, a survey was conducted in Ningxia, North China. Data were collected from a total of 284 pastoralists in six Ningxia counties.

Applying a dryland degradation framework for rangelands: the case of Mongolia [PDF]
Ecological Applications, 2018 AbstractLivestock‐caused rangeland degradation remains a major policy concern globally and the subject of widespread scientific study. This concern persists in part because it is difficult to isolate the effects of livestock from climate and other factors that influence ecosystem conditions.

Property Size and Rangeland Degradation in the Queensland Mulga Rangelands.
The Rangeland Journal, 1992Small property size is often cited as one of the major causes of rangeland degradation in Australia. However, there is some conjecture as to the importance of this effect and the process by which small property sizes lead to rangeland degradation. Relatively little empirical analysis of these issues has been undertaken, especially in a dynamic context ...

A MULTIDISCIPLINARY MODEL FOR ASSESSING DEGRADATION IN MEDITERRANEAN RANGELANDS
Land Degradation & Development, 2012ABSTRACTThis paper presents an annual multidisciplinary, non‐spatial model which formalizes the relationships linking the dynamics of shrubs, herbs, soil, livestock and farmers' behaviour with possible exogenous drivers of degradation, such as weather and prices.
