In the steppe regions of northeast Asia, conventional systems of grazing have changed along with progress in market economies and greater demand for livestock products, leading to the rapid degradation of pastures and changes in the biota. To both prevent the destruction of pastoral land and the enable sustainable production, the integration of scientific knowledge for the sustainable use of ecosystems in pastoral area is necessary so that ecological services can be steadily supplied and the functions of ecosystems can be recovered to enable their sustainable management. This research project focuses on the steppe of Mongolia where the prevention of desertification and the sustainable use of ecosystem services have become issues. This study integrates previous ecological knowledge, develops environment restoration techniques to promote the recovery of ecosystem services, creates a "Vulnerability / resilience rating framework" to optimize the selection of methods to apply to each region. We aim to develop and distribute a restoration manual that combines all of these approaches, is versatile and can be easily used by local farmers.
