Forage-livestock conflict (FLC) causes rangeland degradation and poses a threat to climate change mitigation, food security, and sustainable development. Previous studies have investigated the hotspots of FLCs. However, region-sectors of supply chains transferring embodied FLCs are overlooked. This study identifies transmission centers of embodied FLCs in China during 2005-2015 based on multi-regional input-output analysis. The results show that transmission centers are mostly light industries, such as the "agricultural and sideline products processing" sectors of Inner Mongolia and Shandong and the "textile industry" sector of Jiangsu. Moreover, the geographical distribution of transmission centers changed during 2005-2015. In particular, several transmission centers were moving from non-pastoral provinces to pastoral provinces. This is influenced by structural changes in supply chains. The findings of this study provide deep leverage points of interventions. They can support effective productivity improvement measures and intersectoral cooperation to control FLCs, and can therefore combat rangeland degradation.
草料-牲畜冲突（FLC）导致牧场退化，并对缓解气候变化、粮食安全和可持续发展构成威胁。以往的研究调查了FLC的热点地区。然而，转移隐含FLC的供应链区域部门却被忽视了。本研究基于多区域投入产出分析，确定了2005-2015年中国隐含FLC的传输中心。结果表明，传输中心大多是轻工业，如内蒙古和山东的“农副产品加工”部门以及江苏的“纺织业”部门。此外，2005-2015年期间传输中心的地理分布发生了变化。特别是，一些传输中心正从非牧区省份转移到牧区省份。这受到供应链结构变化的影响。本研究的结果提供了深入的干预杠杆点。它们可以支持有效的生产力提高措施和部门间合作以控制FLC，从而应对牧场退化。
