Effect and Countermeasures of Sandified Land Restoration at Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps
Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps(XPCC)is located around the Taklimakan Desert and Gurbantünggüt Desert,which suffers the most serious sandification in China.After analyzing the local natural conditions as well as the current situation and characteristics of land sandification there,this paper summarizes the long-standing effects of sandification control in the region,analyzes the problems arising in the implementation of sandification control programs,and proposes the sandification control principles in alignment with the actual situation of XPCC.They include:1)Within the oasis,actions should be taken to transform and improve the farm shelterbelts while to promote water-saving irrigation technology,so at to establish an efficient and economical forest/grassland industry with a focus on oasis;2)In the areas where oases intersect with deserts and Gobi,biological measures will be taken in combination with sandification programs for integrated sandification control,with the protection of existing vegetation as the precondition;3)In the desert and Gobi surrounding oases,less human inventions should be adopted to maintain the ecological status;and 4)Countermeasures such as afforestation,enclosed protection,abiotic engineering treatment,grassland treatment,and water-saving irrigation techniques should be taken to restore vegetation in sandified areas and prevent sandification,so as to ensure the effect of sandification control and promote the sustainable socioeconomic development of XPCC.
