This is because India's green contribution is mostly dependent on agricultural grains, and land reclamation will exacerbate desertification, especially in India's relatively scarce water resources.
-
The earth is turning greener, which is supposed to refer to China's contribution to greening, but experts are concerned about India, most likely because of the problem of red tides in India's water bodies, which are caused by the lack of an environment that causes algae blooms in the water, which will eventually be difficult to control if not taken seriously. So experts are worried about India.
-
Because a lot of the plants in India are grains, when these grains are harvested, there is no greenery.
-
The reason why the earth is "turning green" is because India and China are actively planting trees, which is a good thing. The reason why India is worrying is that India's own water resources are relatively thin and have little lead, and as more trees are planted with potatoes, India's water resources will naturally become less and less, affecting people's lives.
-
India is also a developing country, but they do not care about the deterioration of the environment, and even exchange the environment for economic development before transportation.
-
It is implicit that China and India are constantly planting vegetation, which leads to the fact that many areas of China and India are green on satellites, and it is also hoped that other countries will learn to evoke it.

Researchers at Boston University examined remote sensing data collected by NASA satellites between 2000 and 2017.
Interestingly, during this time, the area of green leaves on Earth's land increased by about 5%. That's the equivalent of 5.5 million square kilometers (2.1 million square miles) – the size of the Amazon rainforest. Compared to around 2000, more than 500 million hectares of new green leaves are added every year, an increase of 5%.
The researchers were surprised by the two leading countries, China and India. According to the study, China alone accounts for 25% of the global vegetation increase.
The research team said 42 percent of China's new greenery came from forests and 32 percent from farmland. In India, on the other hand, up to 82% of the increased greenery comes from crops, and only from new forests.

Over the past 20 years, China and India have contributed to the global greening process by reducing soil erosion, air pollution and climate change through afforestation projects and vegetation conservation projects. In recent years, China has implemented the project of returning farmland to forests, and completed a large number of afforestation projects in key shelterbelt system projects, China has paid more and more attention to environmental protection, and has greatly increased the area of vegetation coverage through afforestation and vegetation protection, and India has also attached importance to afforestation and the protection of vegetation, without affecting food production, the protection of vegetation and afforestation activities have made China and India greener, which also shows that mankind has paid more and more attention to protecting the ecological environment.

According to a new study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), more than 2 million square miles of vegetation have been added to the Earth's surface over the past 20 years, equivalent to an extra piece of Amazon rainforest. A third of this increase in vegetation area is attributable to China and India, especially China's reforestation projects and shared agricultural intensification. China and India have contributed the most to the increase in vegetation area, which is the backbone of the growth.
According to NASA, 42%** of China's contribution to global greening is reforestation, which has contributed to reducing soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. According to the relevant image data, the improvement was most significant in Asia, further illustrating the dramatic improvement in vegetation in China and India.

Since then, China and India, which have always been criticized by the West for greening problems and environmental pollution problems, have taken off their hats in one fell swoop and have become the main force of the world's greening action! China alone has accounted for at least 25% of the total global vegetation increase over the past 17 years.
NASA, published in the Feb. 11 issue of the journal Nature, said that the green belts in China and India are very striking. Although China is the only global in terms of vegetation area, it accounts for 25% of the global net increase in vegetation leaf area. China's greening comes mainly from forests (42%) and arable land (32%), while in India it comes mainly from arable land (82%), with forests accounting for only one.
China alone has accounted for at least 25% of the total global vegetation increase over the past 17 years.
This is probably the legendary "gorgeous counterattack", ......
In fact, whether it is NASA's excited praise or the conclusive data given by satellite data, the world has once again been impressed by China, and many netizens have said "thank you" to China!
The global green area "bucked the trend**", increasing by 5%, which is equivalent to an additional area of Amazon rainforest.
The main contribution to this is the leading and driving role played by China and India.
In the words of the researchers at Boston University, this is a "surprising" finding, and the NASA report on its website is even more blunt, and the conclusions of the study are "counterintuitive".
This is because it is often assumed that a large population in a country, especially in developing countries, leads to overdevelopment, which in turn degrades green spaces.
However, the numbers don't lie, and the facts tell these scientists: China and India are really going to great lengths to green the planet.
In fact, scientists noticed signs of greening on the planet in the mid-90s, but at the time they only thought it was due to rising carbon dioxide concentrations, and they did not know the role of humans in this.
Now, by analyzing the satellite remote sensing data accumulated over the past 20 years, these researchers can finally determine:
It is human activities in China and India that are driving the increase in global green cover.
-
The green belts in China and India are very eye-catching. Although in terms of vegetation area, China is only the world's.
-
China and India have taken action to make the planet greener.
-
Because China and India have stepped up greening.
-
Because we have contributed the most.
-
China and India, which are always criticized by the West for their greening and environmental pollution problems.
-
I think it's some natural cause.
-
Because we have the largest planting area.
-
This is because we have the largest planting area.
-
Because we have made the greatest contribution.
This may be due to the aging of the sun, because all the light on the earth comes from the sun, and the dimming of the earth means that the sun is aging more and more.
Mainly because in 2021, the weather temperature has changed greatly, and the temperature increase is very noticeable, and it is very likely that the temperature will increase in the future. According to the continuous warming of the earth, this endothermic type, in the scientific community, there are different opinions on the direction of the earth's climate. After all, the La Niña phenomenon has formed in 2020, which means that global climate change will be further intensified, and the La Niña phenomenon has already had a certain impact on our country. >>>More
There was a man who was sailing, and a man on a boat noticed that the mast of the ship coming from the other side was getting higher and higher, so it was logical to think of the earth as round. Later, people explored it and found out. In fact, when astronauts go to space, they can see that the Earth seems to be round. >>>More
Scientists have found that the temperature of the moon in the past is higher than now, mainly because the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements in the interior of the moon is gradually decreasing, and these radioactive elements were originally the first to hit a huge impact. Due to the huge size of the Moon, in an astrophysical sense, it is unlikely that it was "captured" by the Earth and became a satellite, so many scientists speculate that the Moon was hit by a violent "meteorite-Earth" impact event, and the radioactive elements that caused the Moon to heat up also came from this impact. Scientists have found that the "cooling" of the moon has accelerated sharply in the last 1 million years, and many cliffs and mountains on the surface of the moon also come from the "**folding" effect caused by this cooling. >>>More
