摘要
Oasis is a kind of special ecological landscape of arid land. In the past two decades, certain progress has been made in research on Chinese oases and a series of achievements have been attained on system of oasis, evolution of oasis, maintenance and construction of oasis, regulation and control of oasis, sustainable development of oasis. To establish the science of Chinese Oasis is pressingly necessary for the development of arid land on a large scale and the opportunity is coming. We should specify the object of study and the nature of this science, and push forward it to more advanced level so that we could occupy the international leading position in this field.
