Abstract:: [Objective] The aims of this study are to effectively investigate the process of influencing factors on farmers' livelihood vulnerability(FLV)and the fragility mechanism of farmers' livelihoods, and provide scientific reference for the sustainable development of FLV in the Shiyang River Basin(SRB)and even the entire ecologically fragile areas of China. [Methods] Based on the transect survey data, we used synthetic index method, vulnerability function evaluation model, and obstacle degree model to analyze the spatial pattern of FLV, identify vulnerable groups, then investigate the mechanism of FLV in this basin. [Results](1)The vulnerability level in SRB was high, with FLV index up to 0.644. The FLV exhibited a spatial pattern of high in the north and low in the south, with the low FLV values mainly distributing in the periphery of counties.(2)The FLV of different farmer followed the order: traditional agriculture dominant type(0.99)>new type agriculture type(0.80)>traditional non-agricultural type(0.64)>non-agricultural dominant type(0.60)>Animal husbandry orientation(0.49), which suggest that the vulnerability decreased with the increase of the degree of non-agriculturalization.(3)The top five obstacles affecting the exposure-sensitivity of farmers included reduction of cultivated land area, ecological recover, neighborhood conflicts, fluctuations of agricultural market, and agricultural expenditure pressure. The major factors that limited the adaptability included cultivated land area, social network, economic income, livestock capital, and labor force. [Conclusion] In general, farmers' exposure-sensitivity and adaptability constitute the dynamic cycle of livelihood vulnerability, which determines the evolution direction and path of FLV.
