China spends hundreds of millions to plant Populus euphratica in the Taklimakan Desert. How is it now?

When it comes to the Taklimakan Desert, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Even if you have never been there, you may have heard of it. It is the tenth largest desert in the world and the second largest mobile desert in the world. It is located in Tarim, Xinjiang, China. In the center of the basin, where there are very few plants, it is basically all sandy soil at a glance.

Therefore, it also makes it difficult for people living nearby to survive. Due to the extremely harsh desert conditions and sometimes sandstorms, China has also taken many measures to prevent and control sand in order to increase green land, and has invested in Millions planted a lot of trees, but now they have become like this.

In order to change the expansion of desertification, the government planted a tall Populus euphratica forest on the edge of the desert. Everyone should remember that there is an article about Populus euphratica forest in elementary school texts. Populus euphratica can survive in places with extreme water shortage.

Its roots can stabilize the sand and prevent sand loss, and the trunk and branches can also act as a natural barrier to prevent hurricanes. Therefore, the Taklimakan Desert is well protected by the Populus euphratica forest, and a road has been built in the middle of the shelter forest. Here It also slowly became lively.

We only know that Populus euphratica has the effect of preventing wind and sand, but in fact, whenever it comes to autumn, it will turn into a golden butterfly and fall on the ground. This also shows the tenderness and romance of Populus euphratica trees. The beautiful and tall Populus euphratica forest has also attracted many tourists who come here because of its fame.

Nature has made great contributions to human beings, and we should also take good care of the environment around us, just like this desert. If we still ignore it, the desert will not only not shrink, but also very It may continue to expand, and eventually the oasis may be replaced by a desert. I believe this is something we do not want to see.
