Overview

Randomized trial investigates the connection between rangeland conditions and income in households, indicating resource management challenges.

Key Points

  • This study explores how rangeland condition and vegetation dynamics affect household income in a Mongolian pastoral system.
  • Analyzed a multi-source panel dataset from 2018 to 2024.
  • Used Sentinel-2 NDVI time series and soil organic carbon measurements from 120 permanent plots.
  • Conducted a five-wave survey involving 114 households.
  • Approximately 90% of monitored plots are at least moderately degraded.
  • Real household income declined during the study period, despite an increase in herd size.
  • Higher vegetation condition correlates with increased income, while livestock by-product waste is linked to reduced income.
