摘要： The Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy (GECP) in China is a herder-centered payment for ecosystem services program designed to restore grassland ecosystems while improving herders' livelihoods. However, longterm empirical studies assessing the effects of GECP across different grassland types and its socioeconomic impacts on herders remain limited. Based on field surveys conducted among herders in Inner Mongolia in 2010, 2015, and 2018, this study evaluates the policy's impact on grassland ecosystems and livestock production by Commonality Analysis and Partial Least Squares Path Modeling. The results showed that: (1) The livestock scale significantly decreased only in the meadow steppe, while notable changes in livestock structure were observed across all three grassland types; (2) Sheep or goat populations showed a great decline and large livestock (e.g., cattle) numbers exhibited minimal changes across three grassland types; (3) The policy induced notable shifts in herders' income and cost structures, with livestock income decreasing by 25.7-45.5 % and non-farm income increasing by 19.7-30.5 %; (4) Although GECP significantly enhanced grassland productivity, its ecological benefits may be partially offset by other socio-economic factor like rising livestock prices, as herders adjust grazing and production strategies in response to market dynamics. These findings suggest that GECP not only improved grassland quality but also reshaped herders' production practices and livelihood strategies. To ensure sustainable grassland management, future policy adjustments should account for regional heterogeneity by considering key factors such as grassland carrying capacity, livestock market fluctuations, and climate variability. Adopting differentiated management strategies tailored to different grassland types will be crucial for balancing ecological conservation and herder welfare.
