Steppes form one of the largest biomes. Drastic changes in steppe
ecology, land use and livelihoods came with the emergence, and
again with the collapse, of communist states. Excessive ploughing
and vast influx of people into the steppe zone led to a strong
decline in nomadic pastoralism in the Soviet Union and China and in
severely degraded steppe ecosystems. In Mongolia nomadic
pastoralism persisted, but steppes degraded because of strongly
increased livestock loads. After the Soviet collapse steppes
regenerated on huge tracts of fallow land. Presently, new,
restorative steppe land management schemes are applied. On top of
all these changes come strong effects of climate change in the
northern part of the steppe zone. This book gives an up-to-date
overview of changes in ecology, climate and use of the entire
Eurasian steppe area and their effects on livelihoods of steppe
people. It integrates knowledge that so far was available only in a
spectrum of locally used languages.
