Its specialconditions such as biology and climate, the history of evolution of sandy land and its location make itpossess features differing from other sandy lands in the country. This article systematitaly discussesthe regional featured such as the historical process, modern process, environmental factors ondesertification and the sandy land landscape and the degree of desertification, and raises some advicesfor rehabilitation and development in this area.展开更多

Historical desertification of the Mu Us Sandy Land is linked to both environmental changes and anthropogenic activities.

This paper reports on an analysis of grain size parameters as indicative of such changes in the southwestern area of the Mu Us Sandy Land. Combined with analysis of chronologies and historical records, our results indicate that Beidachi Lake and a nearby season- al river have retreated continuously in history and that sand dunes appeared at approximately the end of the Ming dynasty. This study sheds new light on the understanding of spatial-temporal changes of the interior Mu Us Sandy Land in history and has great significance in revealing environmental changes of the interior region of the Mu Us Sandy Land.展开更多
