What is the name of the disappearing desert?

The Mu Us Desert is in Inner Mongolia. Located in the border area with Shaanxi Province, the annual precipitation here is extremely low and nothing grows, which makes people's natural environment in a bad state all the year round. At least few animals live here, let alone people live there, and even there will be serious sandstorms in winter, which has a serious impact on the northern region. Mu Us Sandy Land is located at the intersection of many natural zones, and the vegetation and soil show transitional characteristics.

Now, people's protection of the environment has improved some deserts and the environment, and even more and more oases have appeared, and the water area where people can live has also increased. With the continuous efforts of people, there are more and more oases here, less and less yellow sand, and the ecological environment is gradually recovering.

Achievements in the management of Mu Us Desert;

Yulin City has built more than 165 forests with an area of 1 10,000 mu in the hinterland of the desert, and built four large-scale shelterbelts with a total length of 1500 km, with an afforestation preservation area of 1629 mu, and the forest and grass coverage rate has increased from 0.9% to 25%. More than 6 million mu of the city's 8.6 million mu of quicksand have been fixed and semi-fixed, realizing the reversal of regional desertification. The annual sandstorm weather decreased from more than 20 days in the 1960s and 1970s to less than 10 days.

By the beginning of 2 1 century, more than 6 million mu of sandy land had been treated, and the sand had stopped growing green. 80% of the Mu Us Desert has been treated, and soil and water are no longer lost. The annual sediment discharge of the Yellow River has decreased by 400 million tons. Due to abundant rainfall, many sandy lands have now become woodland, grassland and fertile fields. In the hinterland of the desert, Yulin has also built 6.5438+0.6 million mu of farmland, and this "desert capital" of Yulin has become an "oasis of the desert".
