Over the past several thousand years, arid and semiarid China has experienced a series of asynchronous desertification events in its semiarid sandy and desert regions, but the precise identification of the driving forces of such events has remained elusive. In this paper we identify two rapid desertification events (RDEs) at ~4.6 ± 0.2 ka BP and ~3.3 ± 0.2 ka BP from the JJ Profile, located in ...

Land desertification has become a significant issue of economy and ecological environment in global area. In this paper, we have applied the object-oriented method to the research of Zhenglanqi basin and the West of Badain Jaran Desert which present obviously different characters of china. On the basis of the multi-spectral images of Beijing-1 in June and September in 2006, under the standard c...

Desertification is a global environmental problem, and arid dunes with sparse vegetation are especially vulnerable to desertification. One way to combat desertification is to increase vegetation cover by planting plant species that can realize fast population expansion, even in harsh environments. To evaluate the success of planted species and provide guidance for selecting proper species to st...

Land degradation and desertification has been ranked as a major environmental and social issue for the coming decades. Thus, the observation and early detection of degradation is a primary objective for a number of scientific and policy organisations, with remote sensing methods being a candidate choice for the development of monitoring systems. This paper reviews the statistical and ecological...

In our rapidly shrinking world, countries and affairs that once seemed far away have ever stronger and more profound impact on our lives. This globalization process is undoubtedly technogenic. The first vehicle for this phenomenon is the rise of rapid communications, highlighted by the degree to which the internet and wireless communications permeate our environment, providing email, web, IP te...

In the present paper, we suggest a new universal approach to study complex systems by microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic methods. We discuss new possibilities of extracting information on nonstationarity, unsteadiness and non-Markovity of discrete stochastic processes in complex systems. We consider statistical properties of the fast, intermediate and slow components of the investigated pr...

The concept of the triad regulatory metasystem, which includes the neuroendocrine and immune regulation systems, is currently generally accepted. Changes occurring in each of the regulatory systems in response to the impact of technogenic chemical factors are also well known. This paper presents mathematical models of the immune and neuroendocrine system functioning, using the interaction betwe...

With the development of computer technology and the improvement of people’s living level, the use of computers to deal with the photos is more and more popular. How to combine the computer and image perfectly will directly affect the quality of our image. Research of this article is how to manage the image by computer to desertification, that processing the image into desertification style. The...

Arid and semi-arid areas in North China are facing the challenge of a rising aeolian desertification risk (ADR) due to the intertwined effects of complex natural processes and intensified anthropogenic activities. An accurate quantitative assessment of the relationship between ADR and its determinants is beneficial for understanding the driving mechanisms of aeolian desertification and for cont...

The paper deals some important aspects concerning the study of desertification phenomenon that has significantly interested all European countries of the Mediterranean basin in the last decades. The territorial sensibility, qualitatively and/or quantitatively, of the risk related to the desertification processes has been valued as grade of susceptibility to the phenomenon in the study area, wit...
