Mongolian nomadic culture and ecological reconstruction in the agro‐pastoral mosaic zone in northern China

摘要：

We deal with the environmental problem of sandy desertification and ecological reconstruction in the arid region of northern China from a cultural approach.Historically, the region was the homeland of nomadic ethnic groups, with mobile livestock grazing as their dominant culture.Due to the large scale immigration of agrarian population from the Central Plain of China mainly from 1740s (Baozhong,2003), the grassland ecology has become gradually fragmentized and turned into an agro‐ pastoral interlocked mosaic pattern in the transition area between nomadic and agrarian cultures.This marked the beginning of serious problems of wind erosion and sandy desertification relavant to land use patterns, which has been posing an ever growing threat to ecological, environmental, economic and social safety of the region and adjacent areas.
