  abstract = {{F}ollowing a strictly theory-building approach, we developed an agent-based simulation model, the {N}ice {M}usical {C}hairs model, to represent the competition between groups of stakeholders of farming and herding activities in the arid {A}fro-{E}urasia. {T}he model deepens the questions raised by the results of our former model, the {M}usical {C}hairs model, and further introduces three socio-economic mechanisms, which modulate the behavior and performance of stakeholders and their groups. {F}irst, we define land use pairing as the awarding, regarding productivity, of any direct cooperation between farming and herding within a group. {S}econd, group management is modeled as the prerogative of a group leadership to manage stakeholders to pursue a particular proportion between farming and herding. {T}hird, we introduce restricted access to pasture as the engagement in territorial control of rangelands in opposition to an open access regime. {A}n exhaustive exploration of scenarios and parameters placed the control over rangelands as the most significant factor in the formation of land use patterns, followed by land use management. {W}hile the effect of land use pairing is mild in comparison, it is still a significant factor in group selection and thus in the persistence of particular land use patterns in the long run.},
