Self rehabilitation of degraded Mongolian rangeland by grazing exclosure
Introduction Due to its continental and dry climate,Mongolia is one of the worlds large rangeland areas.Nomadic pastoralism on these rangelands is the backbone of Mongolias agricultural sector and builds the basis of income for many herder families.However,large areas of Mongolian rangeland pastures are heavily degraded,mainly due to overgrazing.We examined whether a resting time without grazing results in self rehabilitation of degraded rangeland.
