Is planting trees in the desert good or bad? Why do American experts bluntly say that planting trees in deserts in China does more harm than good?

Let me ask you a question. Do you think planting trees in the desert is a good thing or a bad thing? I think most people will say that planting trees in the desert must be a good thing. After all, turning the desert into an oasis is not a great thing. The forest has the title of natural oxygen bar, which is a very important protection in the earth's ecosystem.

However, American experts say that planting trees in deserts does more harm than good. And American experts also criticized that our country's desert tree planting is an act that seriously damages the ecosystem. So is there any truth to what the American experts said?

In the whole earth, the land area accounts for 29%, and the ocean area accounts for 71%. And of the 29% of the land, one-third is desert, and the area of ​​the Sahara Desert alone can be almost equal to the land area of ​​China. Moreover, with the development of science and technology by human beings, the ecological environment has been severely damaged, and the desertification of the land has continuously expanded the proportion of the desert area.

So if you have the ability, wouldn't it be a good thing to plant trees in the desert? In fact, to be honest, if all the deserts on the earth are turned into forests, it would be a huge bad thing. During the Carboniferous period, the earth's forest coverage rate was as high as 90%. However, a high oxygen environment can lead to oxygen toxicity in humans. So blindly turning deserts into forests is wrong.

However, American experts say that tree planting in China's deserts does more harm than good, which is sheer nonsense. Because scientists in our country naturally know that the desert ecosystem is an integral part of the earth, so our desert tree planting project is aimed at those deserts that were originally forests and pastures but were turned into deserts due to soil erosion. Our goal is to turn this part of the sandy land back into grassland or forest.

To put it bluntly, American experts want to deny China's achievements in desert tree planting. The United States naturally does not want China's desert tree planting project to attract global attention, so it maliciously slanders our country's desert tree planting project. This is what bad people will do. The United States is the most powerful country in the world. It was supposed to lead the world to control pollution, but instead it discredited our country's achievements in environmental governance.
