摘要
Desertification in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau is part of Chinese desertification. In the past decades, due to the climate warming, the climate condition in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau has been relatively dry. This has resulted in permafrost degradation and other environmental problems. In addition, the vegetation and the soil layer were also destroyed by unreasonable economic activities. Cultivated and grassland lands have become deserted. Nowadays, the desertification is still expending. In this paper, the factors affecting the desertification in Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau were examined, and the desertification as well as its relationship with permafrost degradation was also discussed.
