Is it good or bad to plant trees in large areas in the desert? Will it affect rainfall in the desert?
Everyone knows that although China attaches great importance to its own development, it has never forgotten to protect the environment in these years. After all, protecting the environment is protecting ourselves. In the northwestern region of China, there is a large desert. For this reason, China has formulated an afforestation project. However, a professor in the United States disagreed with this, and said that the Chinese are too naive to know the consequences of planting trees, so how dare they call themselves an environmental protection power? Why did the professor say that? What are the consequences of planting trees? Let's take a look together.
The professor said that China's thinking is wrong, because he thinks that whether it is a desert or an oasis, it is actually a law of nature. If the desert is forcibly turned into an oasis, a lot of water resources will only be wasted. Because the reason why the desert becomes a desert and there is no grass, it is actually because it is extremely short of water, and planting trees requires a lot of water resources, which will only cause the desert to become more water scarce, and in the end it will be nothing but nothing. Not only a waste of water, but also a waste of manpower. So China doesn't have to bother in vain at all, just let it continue to desertify.
Although the professor is right, he does not understand China's specific measures. China also took this into consideration, so only some vegetation that can change the surface environment of the desert will be planted in the early stage. The growth of these vegetation does not require a lot of water, on the contrary, it can also play a role in windbreak and sand fixation. After the water and soil are fixed, the desert will turn into grass squares one by one. At that time, planting trees can avoid the problem of desert getting drier and wasting a lot of water resources. And this is not the first time China has done this kind of thing. The Mu Us Desert was transformed into an oasis by China. In other words, if we keep neglecting it and let the environment continue to desertify, sooner or later we will all live in the desert, but when the time comes, will humans really be able to adapt to the desert environment? Although the existence of deserts is a law of nature, many deserts used to be an oasis. If the desert can be restored to its original oasis appearance, the environment and air will be greatly improved, which will directly affect the earth. health. If the earth returns to health, then our homeland will also be protected, so everything China does is actually protecting our homeland, nothing more.
