Why is the Mu Us Desert , the fifth largest desert, about to be wiped out?

I don't know, but I guess it's the scale of the afforestation.

Located between the Yulin region of Shaanxi Province and the city of Ordos in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Mu Us Desert is one of the four major sandy areas in China.

According to research, in ancient times, this area was rich in water and grass, and the scenery was pleasant, and it was a good pasture. Later, due to climate change and war, the ground vegetation was completely lost, and sand was raised on the spot, forming the later desert (sandy land). There was a story of "three relocations of Yulin" here.

Now it is not what it used to be, and now Yulin is a "famous city".

In the 60s of the 20th century, there was no grass growing quicksand half a kilometer away from the suburbs of Yulin City, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there was basically no quicksand within 50 kilometers. Much of what was once sandy land is now woodland, meadow and fertile land. In the hinterland of the desert, Yulin City has also accumulated 1.6 million mu of new farmland.

By the beginning of the 21st century, more than 6 million acres of sandy land had been remediated, and the sand was stopped and greened. Eighty percent of the Mu Us Desert has been brought under control, soil and water have been lost, and the annual sediment transport of the Yellow River has been reduced by 400 million tons. Thanks to good precipitation, many sandy areas are now woodlands, meadows and fertile fields.

In the hinterland of the desert, Yulin City has also accumulated 1.6 million acres of new farmland, and Yulin, the "desert capital", has become a "desert oasis".

Introduction: With the gradual improvement of China's ecological laws, some sandy lands in China have gradually become oases, which is something that every Chinese is proud of, China is working tirelessly every day for the dream of turning the desert into an oasis, and China also has many successful cases, such as the Mu Us Desert has successfully become an oasis, after which many netizens ask why the Mu Us Desert is about to disappear? However, the Taklamakan Desert cannot be eradicated yet, so today I will take you to understand the reasons for this.

1. Mu Us Desert.

Mu Us Sandy Land is a relatively large sandy land in China, once Mu Us did not see a green tree and grass at all, but with the unremitting efforts of people, Mao Su finally disappeared in the eyes of people, and ushered in a very huge green ecological environment, this is the result of China's sand management policy, Mao Su Sandy Land has become an oasis, but also reflects the best intentions and the superiority of the management method. <>

2. The Taklamakan Desert.

The fundamental reason why the Taklamakan Desert cannot be transformed from sand to green forest is actually very simple, because the Taklamakan Desert and the Mu Us Desert, the two of them have a fundamental difference, the Mu Us Desert is not actually a desert, but a piece of sand, the Mu Us Desert, in fact, was a pastoral area before, but due to people's overgrazing and some reasons, the soil here was reduced to form a sandy land. The Taklamakan Desert is a real desert, so it will be very difficult to manage. <>

Third, it is difficult to govern.

If you also change the Taklamakan Desert by planting trees, it is likely to make the local area more arid, because the Taklamakan Desert is not like the Mu Us Desert, the Taklamakan Desert is formed by natural factors, it is very far from the ocean, so the evaporation is very serious, if you add some plants, the transpiration of these plants is more likely to make the groundwater less and less, therefore, the Taklamakan Desert is difficult to turn into an oasis.

Because of the different geographical location, the conditions under which it was formed were different from those of the desert, and the main reason was the climate, which did not change.

Because it is located in a relatively good geographical location, it will not disappear easily.

Because the environment of this desert is so harsh, and there is not a single tree in it, this desert will not disappear.

Mu Us Desert.

It will disappear because it is about to become an oasis. The Mu Us Desert is located in Yulin, Shaanxi.

The area of the desert is about square kilometers.

According to research, the area of the Mu Us Desert is not so large as it should be, and it was also rich in water and grass in ancient times. However, with the irrational human behavior such as grazing and reclamation, as well as climate change, the ground vegetation in the Mu Us Desert has begun to decline day by day. Over time, the desert area of Mu Us began to expand.

By the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it had become a vast desert. <>

After entering the period of New China, people began to establish windbreak belts in order to prevent the further expansion of the Mu Us Desert. In addition, people have also taken measures to control the Mu Us Desert such as water diversion and sand diversion, flood diversion and siltation. In fact, in terms of the climatic conditions of the Mu Us Desert, the amount of precipitation in this area.

In fact, it is relatively rich. Annual precipitation can usually reach more than 250 mm, with July to September being around 60%-75% of the annual precipitation. Based on this precipitation, it is relatively easy to establish a windbreak in the Mu Us Desert.

People's prevention and control of the Mu Us Desert began in the fifties of the last century, and the people involved in the prevention and control were both "officials" and "people". Among them, as far as the "official" is concerned, because the Mu Us Desert exists in the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia provinces at the same time, its prevention and control work is jointly carried out by the three provinces. These three provinces** plan separately according to the desert land conditions within their jurisdictions.

As far as the "people" are concerned, many enterprises and individuals have been very actively involved in the management of the Mu Us Desert. <>

With the joint efforts of the "officials" and the "people," the prevention and control work of the Mu Us Desert has achieved very remarkable results. As of the beginning of the 21st century, the Mu Us Desert can be said to have taken on a new look after nearly half a century of prevention and control, and more than 600 acres of sandy land have been treated. The yellow sand in these sandy areas has been replaced by lush trees, and Yulin, which had been at the forefront of wind and sand encroachment, has become a "plugged oasis".

Last year, the Shaanxi Forestry Bureau also indicated that the area of sandy land to be treated had been reached.

If this trend continues, it is estimated that the Mu Us Desert will soon be completely replaced by oases. If that day does come, the name of the Mu Us Desert will become unworthy of its name. In this case, the disappearance of the Mu Us Desert from the map of Shaanxi is a sure thing.

Because the desert has changed a lot over the years, it is no longer a barren land, so it will disappear from the map.

Because this place is very well greened, now the desert area is getting smaller and smaller, and many places are covered by thick shade, so this desert land is about to disappear.

This is due to large-scale afforestation activities and large-scale greenery in the area, which has turned the local desert into an oasis.

The Mu Us Desert is one of the four major sandy lands in China

First, it is located between DU District, Yulindi, Shaanxi Province and Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with an area of 10,000 square meters

Kilometer. It is located at 37°N latitude and 107°20-111°30 east longitude. It includes the southern part of Ordos in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the northern wind-blown sand area in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, and the northeastern part of Yanchi County in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

There is more precipitation, which is conducive to the growth of plants, and it is a relatively developed area of animal husbandry, and the area of fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes is larger. The Great Wall runs from east to west through the southern edge of the desert.
