Introduction<\/strong>
\nThe pasture, a main component of husbandry in Mongolia, is the main source for herders income generation. Recently huge areas of pasture are degrading, due to the strong increase of livestock number, unproper management of pastureland and, probably, global warming. So, there is a big need to introduce rehabilitation methods for degraded pasture depending on their degradation level such as a self rehabilitation by resting or other techniques.
\nObjective:<\/strong>
\nTest the resting impact on degraded rangeland by different level
\nWe were aiming to:
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Compare the resting and grazing pasture by main indicators of rangeland health
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Study of resting impact by degradation level
\nMaterials and methods<\/strong>
\nThe experiment conducted since 2007 in 5 sites degraded different level :
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Ecological zones (high mountain and steppe)
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The degradation level (slightly, heavily, totally)
\nThe following parameters were studied by 3-5 replicates using line point intercept and a traditional method inside and outside the fences and compared.<\/p>\n
