Science plays an important role in various types of public and environmental policy and governance. People often intuitively assume that higher extents (amount) of the application of science-based measures must lead to increased effects of science application. Based on an empirical case study of desertification control in northern China, however, this study found that the relationship between the extent and effect of scientific application followed a cubic rather than a simplified linear relationship and was influenced by a set of factors, including biophysical conditions, science itself, interactions between organizations and social actors, and other supporting elements (such as financial, technical, institutional, and moral or spiritual support). The study also developed a framework for analyzing factors that influence the extents and effects of scientific application and the deviation between the two. These findings provide concrete instructions for both policy-makers and practitioners to improve the effect of scientific application in public and environmental governance at both local and international levels.
