Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research clarified the role of trees as foraging resources in livestock herding which is important livelihood in dry lands. Specifically, I collected kinds of data sets such as the distribution of trees, quantitatively and long-term records of livestock grazing routes, and weather data in Namibia and Mongolia. These surveys revealed that trees play an important role in foraging resources during extreme weather events such as drought, heavy rain, and cold weather.
