Research on the spatial characterization of herder grazing intensity supported by mobile phone signaling data by Zhanming Qiao, Zhanming Qiao, Zhanming Qiao, Min Zheng, Min Zheng, Min Zheng, Zheng Li, Zheng Li, Quanmin Dong, Chunping Zhang, Yang Yu, Quan Cao

“…The equal weight average method was employed to simulate herders’ grazing intensity, with empirical analyses conducted in the Henan Mongolian Autonomous County.ResultsThe findings indicated that: 1) herders’ mobile phone signaling data can quantitatively represent grazing intensity, and when combined with the density and elevation distribution of settlements in Henan County, it reveals that the spatial distribution of grazing intensity aligns with the trajectory of herders’ summer grazing activities. 2) The spatial characteristics of the centrality of the herders’ mobility network exhibited a concentrated point-like ring structure, primarily centered on the townships of Duosong and Youganning, with a decreasing spread outward. 3) The spatial characteristics of the intensity of herders’ mobility ties showed a circular distribution for the overall degree of network ties, which was primarily characterized by low ties. …”
