Ecological Construction Programs in China aim to protect grasslands, but degradation persists. The Subsidy and Incentive System for Grassland Conservation (SISGC) has helped improve grassland condition, especially in counties with worse initial conditions. However, factors like higher producer prices and climate changes have offset some of the program's effectiveness. The impact of SISGC was stronger in areas with poorer grassland conditions, and these areas were also more affected by producer prices and climate changes.
