Ecological Poverty Reduction Path Analysis of Herdsmen’s Rangeland Transfer
Against the backdrop of increasing contradictions between economic development and ecological protection in pastoral areas, issues such as rangeland fragmentation and ecological degradation have gradually emerged. These issues severely restrict the modernization process of rangeland animal husbandry. Based on field survey data from 427 pastoral households in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang pastoral areas, this paper constructs a theoretical framework of “rangeland transfer - rangeland pressure - rangeland ecology - herdsmen’s income.” It employs multiple linear regression and mediation effect models to explore the influence mechanism of rangeland transfer on pastoral income. It also examines the mediating role of rangeland pressure and the moderating effect of ecological degradation. The study finds that rangeland transfer can effectively increase pastoral households’ income. For those who rent-in rangeland, the effect of boosting pastoral income is more prominent. Those who rent-out rangeland achieve nonpastoral income growth through labor transfer. Rangeland pressure fully mediates the positive effect of rangeland transfer on herdsmen’s household income. However, the negative moderating effect of ecological changes on this mediation is obscured. Further analysis shows that the majority of herdsmen transfer rangeland based on kinship, geographical proximity, or policy guidance. Herders rarely get paid by users for ecologically degraded rangelands because of family relationships or a lack of legal knowledge. Concurrently, the absence of government oversight lowers the price of contract violations, resulting in a phenomenon where rangeland degradation still increases income. The research reveals the dynamic mechanism of ecological and economic interaction in rangeland pastoral areas. It proposes establishing an intelligent monitoring system and strengthening regulatory enforcement. These measures aim to promote the optimal allocation of rangeland resources and sustainable development in pastoral areas.
期刊介绍:
Rangeland Ecology & Management publishes all topics-including ecology, management, socioeconomic and policy-pertaining to global rangelands. The journal''s mission is to inform academics, ecosystem managers and policy makers of science-based information to promote sound rangeland stewardship. Author submissions are published in five manuscript categories: original research papers, high-profile forum topics, concept syntheses, as well as research and technical notes.
Rangelands represent approximately 50% of the Earth''s land area and provision multiple ecosystem services for large human populations. This expansive and diverse land area functions as coupled human-ecological systems. Knowledge of both social and biophysical system components and their interactions represent the foundation for informed rangeland stewardship. Rangeland Ecology & Management uniquely integrates information from multiple system components to address current and pending challenges confronting global rangelands.
