Vegetation actualities and feasibility of restoration for the periphery of oasis in extreme arid region： taking Qira County of Xinjiang as an example

1. Introduction Oasis, as a unique ecological unit of arid and semi- arid region, is the living place of the people in arid area. It is one of the components in arid desert, that is, it is involved in the desert but different from desert, and they can be transformed mutually under certain conditions. In the oasis-desert ecosystem, the pe- riphery of oasis is the most outstanding area whose transformation is extremely severe and frequent 1-3]. The periphery, a transitional system, is the conve…

Vegetation actualities and feasibility of restoration for the periphery of oasis in extreme arid region: taking Qira County of Xinjiang as an example

The periphery of oasis plays an important role in mutual transformation between desert and oasis. Vegetation is an important part in the ecosystem and it is an important index indicating certain landscape, Based on several times field investigation, this paper attaches importance to the feasible measures for vegetation restoration according to the current condition of study area - Qira County of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, In order to improve die local ecological environment, people lived in Qira County should work bard to protect their homehind and reduce the degree of sandstorm, More protection forest should be established along with other ecological techniques. Results derived from this study contribute largely to the ecological environmental protection of oasis.
