Verification of a forage simulation model used for a livestock early warning system in the Gobi Region of Mongolia
Introduction The assessment of vegetation productivity is especially important in Mongolia where drought and winter disasters (dzud) that deplete vegetation resources represent a major risk confronting herders.During the period from 1999 to 2001,as much as 35％ of the nations livestock was lost to these two disaster events.To help address these challenges to livestock production in Mongolia,a livestock early warning system was implemented with the objective of developing a forage monitoring system that provides near-real time spatial and temporal assessment of current and forecasted forage conditions.
