Survival and growth of three afforestation species under high saline drip irrigation in the Taklimakan Desert, China
Abstract Afforestation of shelterbelts is a sustainable practice to protect highways from shifting sand dunes in desert areas. The Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt (TDHS) in China is known as “the Great Green Wall of Taklimakan Desert” and borders a 436‐km distance along the highway. This study...
