  1. In the late 20th century, China’s Loess Plateau, the world’s most eroded region, faced severe soil degradation. The “Grain for Green” program, launched in 1999, restored the plateau by converting farmland to forests and grasslands. This initiative revitalized the environment and improved local livelihoods.

  2. Jihua Hou et al. analyzed the #UniversalRules and #RegionalVariations of #VegetationGrowth of #TypicalGrasslands under #EnvironmentalChange by measuring #PlantHeights one by one in #TibetanPlateau (TP), #MongolianPlateau (MP) and #LoessPlateau (LP). The study showed that #NormalDistribution is a universal rule of grassland height construction, and that the synergy of environmental factors varies from region to region.
