Abstract
This study conducted the simulation of the establishment of different vegetation type as well as different response to grazing pressure, by using a single model which coupled ecosystem model and wind erosion model, by taking the example of the results of field survey in Mongolia. As a result, the difference of soil texture led to different physical characteristics such as wind erosion intensities, the example was successfully simulated. By testing the simulation condition without the difference of root distribution with plant functional types, and without wind erosion impact, the example could not be simulated, to find that both factors are essential to simulate the example.
