Sandstom Shield Emergency Action Guide for Sandstom and Desrication Defense

Large-scale migration and unreasonable land reclamation have exacerbated the dust storm hazards in oasis cities of arid regions. Focusing on the Tarim River Basin in Xinjiang, we analyzed the ecological and socio-economic changes from 1949 to 2020. Using assessments of anthropogenic interference intensity, ecological footprint, and carrying capacity, our analysis reveals that human activities following policy-driven migration have severely damaged the Tarim River Basin's environment. In recent years, desertification has intensified, posing a critical ecological threat. 
Based on our findings, we propose the "TSD" Multi-dimensional Synergistic Response Strategy. This strategy constructs a planning and implementation framework for desertification control in oasis cities of arid regions from temporal, spatial, and digital dimensions.The ultimate goal is to achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and the desert, and between humans and nature. This study also provides a novel, holistic governance framework for global dust storm prevention, source area management, and desertification control. It promotes multi-scale intervention, multi-dimensional synergy, and shared prosperity for all humanity!
