[China] - 16-day exploration on Taklimakan Desert 'edge-locking' task ends

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Recently, the research study exploration on the edge-locking task around the Taklimakan Desert has concluded effectively, according to
China Media Group
This exploration aimed to evaluate the actual results and prospective problems of the edge-locking project.The research study group
performed a 16-day on-site evaluation along the 3,046-kilometer edge of the desert
They gathered information to assist develop a key technical system for efficient forest and turf belts, and improve desert
control.Researchers from organizations like Xinjiang Academy of Forestry and Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, took part in the project
They taped and examined the use of various innovations such as engineering sand control and photovoltaic sand control at the Ruoqiang County
task site, gathering first-hand information
The group performed thorough research on various techniques applied in the edge-locking task, including engineering, biological and
photovoltaic sand control techniques, and checked out the social and ecological aspects involved
This supplies data for evaluating the jobs effectiveness and lays a structure for the tasks next phase, stated Zhang Huifang, a scientist
at the Modern Forestry Research Institute under Xinjiang Academy of Forestry.The group also examined the application of flood watering
projects
Concerning the positioning of grass grid sand barriers, the team highlighted the requirement to continue checking out appropriate spacing.As
Chinas biggest and the worlds second-largest shifting sand desert, Taklimakan positions extreme ecological hazards due to its movement and
frequent sandstorms
On November 28, 2024, with the planting of rose seedlings in the last desert edge-locking gap area in Yutian County, the green
sand-blocking protective belt around the whole 3,046-kilometer edge of the Taklimakan Desert was fully finished.(Cover via VCG)
