Combating Sandy Desertification in China
There are 5 volumes, 14 chapters, 49 sections, 189 subjects, more than 500 items and about 100000 data in the book. More than 10000 technical problems were dealt with. The book will be very useful to those who work in the relevant fields, and it will be an important and necessary reference book for these people. The Main contents include the formation and conception of sandy deserts and sandy desertification, the history, achievements and experience of combating sandy desertification, the technology and typical models in combating sandy desertification in China. The natural resources and the industries in the sandy areas in China and the developing trends of global sandy desertification are also introduced.
In the first volume, there are four chapters, which mainly deal with the theory of sandy desertification, including the concept, formation and development of sandy deserts and sandy desertification, the effects of sandy desertification on eco-environment, the cause of sandy desertification, the regularity of temporal and spatial distribution, the main types of sandy desertification, the formation and evolution of sandy desert and sandy desertification in the historical period, global distribution and developing trend of desertified land, and the key actions of the international society.
The 2thvolume introduces the combating of sandy desertification in China, including the history, major achievements and activities. The methods, criteria used for the classification and the results of the three times of extensive national investigations of the sandy deserts and sandy desertification are described. The background, scales, natural and social conditions, investments, benefits and experiences of the engineering projects for prevention and rehabilitation of sandy desertification in China are also presented.
In the two chapters in the 3thvolume, the techniques and typical models developed in the 50years in China for prevention and rehabilitation of sandy desertification are illustrated. 13 techniques using biological measures, engineering measures and chemical measures are recognized. 20 typical models in various places in China are introduced.
In the 4thvolume, sandy desertification is discussed in relation to sustainable development. The theory and practice for the industries in the sandy areas, the advantages of natural resources and the developing ways of the industries in the sandy areas are introduced.
