Abstract
As desertification has become a vital environmental problem in recent years, incidental natural disasters such as sandstorm weather and greenhouse effect harm human life and increase. To ease the problem, various methods of sand fixation have been applied. Among them, the regeneration of plantations is thought to be the most effective and widely used worldwide. This study takes Tongliao city as an example, and applies the technology of GIS and satellite images as well as extreme weather data to analyze the plantations effect on sand fixation and desertification prevention. Results show that plantation positively affects sand fixation, because sand storm weather decreases significantly as the plantation rate increases gradually. But for further protection, special areas such as saline soil area, where planting trees is not applicative, methods such as adding chemical reagent and planting applicable plants are used to improve soil quality and was proved to be useful. Also, discovering and applying plants that are suitable for desert growing environment can be a solution to the problem.
