Biophysical variability and politico-economic singularity: Responses of livestock numbers in South Mongolian nomadic pastoralism
Engler, John-Oliver; Wesche, Karsten; Kaczensky, Petra; Dhakal, Prabesh; Chuluunkhuyag, Oyundari; von Wehrden, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We analyzed a unique data set of livestock numbers in the Mongolian southern Gobi. In a novel approach, we combined biophysical data on precipitation and pasture biomass productivity with data on fine wool prices from 1981 ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that energy intake for ungulates is maximised when forage biomass is at intermediate levels. Nevertheless, metabolic allometry and different digestive systems suggest that ... -
Coexistence of large mammals and humans is possible in Europe’s anthropogenic landscapes
Cretois, Benjamin; Linnell, John Durrus; Van Moorter, Bram; Kaczensky, Petra; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Parada, Jorge Sicacha; Rød, Jan Ketil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A critical question in the conservation of large mammals in the Anthropocene is to know the extent to which they can tolerate human disturbance. Surprisingly, little quantitative data is available about large-scale effects ... -

However, expert- based informa-tion is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. ... -
Moving towards the greener side: environmental aspects guiding pastoral mobility and impacting vegetation in the Dzungarian Gobi, Mongolia
Michler, Lena M.; Kaczensky, Petra; Ploechl, Jane F.; Batsukh, Daginnas; Baumgartner, Sabine A.; Battogtokh, Bayarmaa; Treydte, Anna C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Livestock grazing often intensifies around herder camps, which can lead to degradation, particularly in arid areas, where vegetation is scarce. In Mongolia, nomadic herders have covered long distances between camps and ... -
