Research Progress of Desertification and Its Prevention in Mongolia

Mongolia is a globally crucial region that has been suffering from land desertification. However, current understanding on Mongolia’s desertification limited, constraining the control and sustainable development in even other parts of world. This paper studied spatiotemporal patterns, driving factors, mitigation strategies, research methods through an extensive review literature. Results showed that: (i) remote sensing monitoring subject to relatively low spatial resolution considerable time delay, thus high-resolution timely data are needed perform more precise study; (ii) contribution impacting factors not quantitatively assessed, decoupling analysis desirable quantify different regions Mongolia; (iii) existing prevention measures should be strengthened future. In particular, relationship between grassland changes husbandry needs considered during measures; (iv) multi-method study (particularly interdisciplinary approaches) model enhanced facilitate in-depth Mongolia. provides useful reference for
