The Mongolian Plateau experienced severe decadal drought from 2000 to 2009, followed by recovery in vegetation productivity after 2010. Soil moisture in March and early-summer precipitation were found to be critical factors influencing vegetation productivity. The study highlights the importance of pre-growing season soil moisture in determining drought impacts, as well as the need for interventions to sustain livestock operations during intensifying drought.
The Mongolian Plateau (MP) experienced the most severe decadal drought of the past two millennia from 2000 to 2009 and several shorter-term droughts in the 2010s. Using satellite-based near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRV), we examined changes in vegetation productivity of the MP from 2000 to 2018. During this time, soil moisture in March (SMMar) mainly determined spring NIRV
