“…Since rangeland degradation proceeds in steps, and is increasingly difficult and costly to reverse [8], taking measures promptly is necessary. While there are numerous publications about the fact that recovery of degraded land is impossible or very slow [9][10][11], grazing pressure relief is still the dominant strategy to remedy rangeland degradation worldwide.…”

Effects of Major Grassland Conservation Programs Implemented in Inner Mongolia since 2000 on Vegetation Restoration and Natural and Anthropogenic Disturbances to Their Success

Several grassland conservation programs aiming to relieve grazing pressure have been implemented in Inner Mongolia since 2000 to reverse grassland degradation and protect local and regional environments. Previous studies on the effects of these programs usually used small-scale data generated from field experiments and household surveys, inhibiting the discovery of large-scale effects due to spatial heterogeneity. For a typical study region in Xilingol League, we used fixed-effects models and a panel dataset at the county level from 1998 to 2013 to examine the effects of two programs, namely, the Beijing-Tianjin Wind/Sand Source Control Program and the Ecological Subsidy and Award System and other drivers on vegetation rehabilitation. The modeling results suggested that the programs had a positive but delayed impact on grassland vegetation rehabilitation. Enrollment in the two programs in a specific year was predicted to increase the vegetation index value by amounts equivalent to 186 mm and 98 mm more annual precipitation after two years, respectively (p < 0.01). Fixed effects (including site factors and land use history) had a greater effect, hence the design and implementation of government conservation policies should be context-based.

“…the environmental pressure does not surpass the resilience, the system has the capacity to return to its previous state when the pressure decreases or ceases (Daliakopoulos and Tsanis, 2014). Sensitivity to environmental pressure increases when the ecosystem approaches a tipping point (Figure 1-B).…”

“…All study sites are affected by summer drought. The historical development and land use of the sites are described in Daliakopoulos and Tsanis (2014), along with the effect of the changing climate (Daliakopoulos et al, 2017). Legacies from past land management have shaped current land uses to either be focused on wood production or marginal grazing.…”

Advances in Understanding and Managing Catastrophic Ecosystem Shifts in Mediterranean Ecosystems

One of the most challenging issues in Mediterranean ecosystems to date has been to understand the emergence of discontinuous changes or catastrophic shifts. In the era of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, which encompass ideas around Land Degradation Neutrality, advancing this understanding has become even more critical and urgent. The aim of this paper is to synthesize insights into the drivers, processes and management of catastrophic shifts to highlight ways forward for the management of Mediterranean ecosystems. We use a multidisciplinary approach that extends beyond the typical single site, single scale, single approach studies in the current literature. We link applied and theoretical ecology at multiple scales with analyses and modeling of

“…Designing and implementing management strategies that define good harvesting policies of natural populations is complex and hard (Daliakopoulos and Tsanis 2014). Improving the management of pastoralist systems requires information about the temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity of the vegetation, as well as about the influence of herbivores on the vegetation (Westoby et al 1989; Briske et al 2003).…”
