Part I
Deserts and Desertification in China
China has made remarkable advances in controlling sand movement, mitigating
the effects of dust and sand storms, developing shelter belts to protect oasis and
restoring degraded lands.
The three chapters in this part begin with an overview of the location, size and
characteristics of China's desert and the area impacted by desertification.
The following two chapters detail the methods used by the Chinese to combat
desertification by either predominantly mechanical methods or by the use of
biological agents.
