1. Our country`s deserts mainly lie in arid and semiarid areas, mostly with scarce precipitation and lack of water resource, neither natural vegetation with relatively strong drought-resistance capability nor plantation, like diversifolious poplar, dryland willow, shrubby sand willow, saxoul and Hedysarum mongolicum Turcz, etc., can be protected effectively, this leads to desertification area expansion and frequent sand storm, which seriously affect people`s work and life.
我国沙漠多处于干旱和半干旱地区，绝大部分地区降水稀少，水资源缺乏，无论是具有较强抗旱能力的天然植被，还是人造林如胡杨、旱柳，灌木类沙柳、梭梭、杨柴等都得不到有效保护，导致沙化面积扩大，沙尘暴发生频繁，给人民群众的生产生活带来严重影响。
