This Book provides a comprehensive summary of the research on deserts and Aeolian desertification and their rehabilitation practices in China over the past 50 years. This volume is composed of four part. Part I presents the distribution and characteristics of deserts and Aeolian desertification in China, as well as their physiographical conditions and socio-economic status. Part II discusses in detail the origin and evolution of deserts and Aeolian desertification in China; reveals the physical, biological, and human impact processes of Aeolian desertification; establishes the evaluation model and indicator system for monitoring Aeolian desertification; and predicts the developmental trend of Aeolian desertification. Part III gives a detailed description of the deserts, sandy lands and Aeolian desertified lands in different zones in China. Part IV discusses the main problems confronting China’s desert regions, puts forward strategies and optimization models for rehabilitating deserts and Aeolian desertification in China, and summarizes the danger of blown sand movement to people’s lives and infrastructure as well as engineering measures to prevent and control the wind erosion and desertification.

The book scientifically reveals the origins and mechanisms of deserts and Aeolian desertification in China, effectively proves that deserts are the outcome of nature while Aeolian desertification is a product of irrational human activities, clarifies the prolonged divergence of views on deserts and Aeolian desertification, and solves some important theoretic questions concerning Aeolian desertification control. Using this basis, as well as through summarizing China’s practices and experiences in combating deserts and Aeolian desertification over the past 50 years, this book puts forward strategies to combat Aeolian desertification, basic principles and patterns for the rehabilitation of deserts and Aeolian desertified lands, as well as patterns for development of deserts and the control of desertification in different climatic zones in China. Furthermore, fundamental technical systems to combat Aeolian desertification are established.
