What are the main changes in weather and climate that the nomadic herders are currently experiencing in Mongolia?

Drought has become far more frequent in the Gobi Desert because of climate change. Some summers there has been no rain at all. This means that vascular plants (bushes, shrubs, herbs and grasses) have not been generating or growing well.

The nomadic herders are heavily reliant upon the trees in the Gobi Desert for fuel, but because of the drought the trees and bushes can't re-generate. The bushes and trees are also crucial for holding the sand and soil in place, retaining water, and moderating the microclimate. Drought causes a vicious cycle so trees can not generate in the Gobi Desert which reinforces desertification.

Droughts have also caused small streams and rivers to dry up. The nomadic people are heavily reliant upon these water sources in summer, along with a number of wells. When the streams dry up there is heavy congestion of livestock around the wells and any remaining streams, leading to over-grazing and further land erosion.
