Because of climate change, the constantly growing surface of the planet is threatened by desertification. This movement has dramatically increased over the last fifty years and deserts are advancing at an alarming pace.
China with its vast land is no exception. Engulfed by sandstorms, Beijing started efforts to relieve the damage by planting trees in the desert areas of the country.

We in the US suffered the same thing in the midwest. It comes from over-planting food crops and livestock overgrazing. For this to be successful, they need to mimic nature. Plant different species of trees and shrubs. Then they can plant food crops in between to feed the local community and then export to other cities to generate revenue. It's a huge investment of labor and resources but without that investment they will not see a cessation of sandstorm. I wish them good fortune. May it rain on their trees!

The Chinese are more like an interstellar nation. They have a firm long-term plan and strive to change everything. In the future, humans will migrate to Mars to transform the environment. If even the sand on the earth can’t be managed well, where will interstellar immigration come from? The West uses science fiction films to achieve it, while China uses practical actions to achieve it. I don’t know how far the difference is. If there is no long-term perseverance and persistence, human beings will never be able to achieve interstellar civilization. This is the real light of human beings.

Years ago people constantly downed this idea because they thought the Chinese creating Great Green Wall was going to die due to using only one type of tree. The conversation about this starts at 6:50 by Haisheng Yu. They learned that planting Poplar Trees was a bad idea after they saw them die quickly, but they pivoted. The point I'm trying to make here is yeah that might have been a bad decision due to urgency but they at least are DOING SOMETHING... Here in the US if there is a major problem like this its like we throw our hands up or expect companies to solve the problem for us. In China they're like F that, lets mobilize a massive initiative and solve this which is a good thing. They learned, they improved, on a massive scale. That's how it should be.

The loss has been so great, that nearly one in five Chinese tree species are under threat. Replanting trees isn't an alternative if that planting was of only limited species. Much of the new forest planting is aimed at timber production for the domestic lumber market or stemming severe erosion, rather than restoring native woodland and protecting species. Published studies reveal, most reforestation efforts simply planted one tree species, making a plot of reforested land ecologically akin to a monoculture plantation.

@gnidobarus2932 Год назад

Yes, but first you need to stop winds with trees and make them create a canopy that will prevent intense desert sun from burning grass and shrubs. We had similar problems with agricultural lands in southern Russian (at that time - Soviet) regions. But not because of desertification but wind erosion of top layers of soil. The solution was to plant thick lines of trees on the edge of every field. You can see it in videos from Ukraine for example. Troops use those treelines as cover in otherwise completely open fields. Those treelines are not natural. They were planted long ago to make those lands fit for agriculture and their destruction now poses another problem which have to be solved after the war.

Of course, it is undeniable that this project has protected Beijing's environment while improving the natural environment of the northern border.

China needs to use the technique of planting in trenches, several advantages, greater proximity of the plant roots to moisture in the deep soil, plants remain in the shade while they are young, possibility of filling the bottom of the trenches with organic matter coming from other regions, protection against winds , highly mechanizable. If it is necessary to produce small biodegradable panels made of organic material to support the trenches and protect against sand invasion, the organic panel would be 30cm+ inside the trench and 30cm+ outside as protection against windblown sand. These panels could be made from straw, wood, leaves, etc. pressed and applied mechanically. An alternative to trenches are biodegradable boxes for individual plants that allow you to maintain a hole in the sand where the plant remains deep and protected.

Already seen this reported on years ago.

Wish there was a better way for these news companies to document their progress with concrete numbers.

they are better off trucking in wet garbage and putting them over the soil.

The only downside with this way of tree planting is its only function is to prevent the sandstorms from affecting China. A better way of planting forests is to incorporate more biodiversity and put more effort into the planning and planting to generate proper forests, but this is a much slower and more time consuming process. This is a great first step though!

You are right, this issue are awared after a couple yrs, now they plant more diverse plants and more evaluation are keep going.

@@randompersonontheinternet8790 Shh donttell them that. Apparently 30+ years later they are still learning to crawl. Objectively what you brought up is a great point and there really isnt much that can be done other than having some actual barrier to stop spreading of desert. It's us vs the earth.

@ruedelta Год назад

@@holysword876 If you think biodiversity hasn't been discussed, it's because you overestimate how fast we humans can figure out novel, provable methods. China is basically at the forefront along with Israel. Everything is hard earned and there is no biodiversity key we can just turn.

Why did you not gather up all the sargassum seaweed 5000 square miles & plop it right there in the desert. Cover it up with wood chips & plant pioneer species as starter succession to more productive fruit & nut bearing species. Banana, coconut, fig, date palm trees, moringa etc. You can put up the air to water innovation coming out to irrigate the trees, shrubs, etc. Whatabout mushroom growth very important for soil health.

@ericjohnson6665 Год назад

It's not just climate change, agricultural practices like plowing, cause desertification as well. They need regenerative agriculture. Good effort, but it's missing bio-diversity.

China has only temperate desert, not the tropical/subtropical desert of West Asia where neem tree and date palm can thrive.

They won't survive in the winter when the temperature gets below zero, in some extreme days the temperature can be below -20℃ or even less in regions close to Bejing.
