On the occasion of the 29th World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration publicly refuted the claim that "extensive afforestation should be carried out in the desert.". Researcher Wu Bo, Director of the Institute of Desertification at the Chinese Academy of Forestry and Director of the Key Laboratory of Desert Ecosystems and Global Change at the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, stated that according to the general consensus in the scientific community, deserts are the result of long-term environmental evolution under arid climate conditions. The main reason for the low and sparse vegetation in desert environments is due to climate drought and water scarcity. Wu Bo said that desert areas do not lack soil, and sandy soil itself is a type of soil. Large areas of deserts and Gobi are distributed in arid areas of our country, with an annual precipitation of less than 200 millimeters. Natural precipitation alone cannot support the growth of a large number of trees. Planting large areas or high-density trees will lower the groundwater level,
