　　本书内容简介：Atmospheric protection, biodiversity conservation andcombating desertification are environ-mental issues relating tohuman existence that need to be solved urgently in the newcentury.Aeolian desertification is one of the most signifcantdesertification types. China is one of thecountries suffering fromthe most serious aeolian desertification in the world. Deserts andaeoliandesertified land in China covers an area of 1.669 millionkm2, of which aeolian desertified landcaused by human activitycovers 385,700 km2. Although the Government of China has beengivingtop priority to the control of aeolian desertification, it isstill in a situation of Local Rehabilitationand OverallDeterioration, and aeolian desertification is developingcontinuously and rapidly. Landaeolian desertification in Chinadeveloped at a rate of 1,560 km2/a during the 1960s-1970s,2,100km/a in the 1980s and 2,460 km2/a during 1990——2000.
