DESCRIPTION:Mongolia and China host some of the most extensive and environm
 entally diverse rangelands\, including the world’s largest alpine environm
 ents on the Tibetan plateau\, some of the most extreme deserts in northern
  China and the vast steppes of central and eastern Mongolia. Animal husban
 dry is the main land use type across the region\, with sheep and goat bein
 g the dominant species\, supplemented by e.g. yaks in Tibet\, horses in no
 rthern Mongolia or camels in the Gobi region. Estimates of grazing degrada
 tion in the region vary hugely\, rendering development of urgently needed 
 management strategies difficult. Part of this uncertainty is rooted in the
  lack of standards for degradation assessments such as selection of suitab
 le indicators\, and also in failure to calibrate assessments for the local
  abiotic context. Most notably\, interactions between climate and human la
 nd use still are poorly understood.\nThe talk presents results from own re
 search in Mongolia\, northern China and Tibet\, combining standard fencing
  experiments with large-scale transect studies and literature reviews. Alt
 hough degrees of herders’ mobility vary across the region\, land use can s
 till be seen as relatively homogeneous. In contrast\, climatic conditions 
 differ strongly as shown by the altitudinal range covered (4000 m asl.) an
 d the range in mean annual precipitation values (
