in what ways can we increase vegetation in desert areas
Answers
Answer:
Methods:
•Managed intensive rotational grazing.
•Holistic management.
•Landscaping methods to reduce evaporation, erosion, consolidation of topsoil, sandstorms, temperature and more.
•Permaculture in general - harvesting runoff rainwater to grow plant communities polyculture, composting or multitrophic agriculture.
Answer:
Desert greening is the process of man-made reclamation of deserts for ecological reasons (biodiversity), farming and forestry, but also for reclamation of natural water systems and other ecological systems that support life. The term "desert greening" is intended to apply to both cold and hot arid and semi-arid deserts (see Köppen climate classification system). It does not apply to ice capped or permafrost regions. Desert greening has the potential to help solve global water, energy, and food crises. It pertains to roughly 32 million square kilometres of land.
Managed intensive rotational grazing
Holistic management
Landscaping methods to reduce evaporation, erosion, consolidation of topsoil, sandstorms, temperature and more
Permaculture in general - harvesting runoff rainwater to grow plant communities polyculture, composting or multitrophic agriculture
Planting trees (pioneer species) and salt-loving plants (halophytes), such as Salicornia
Regeneration of salty, polluted, or degenerated soils
Floodwater retention and infiltration (flood control)
Greenhouse agriculture
Seawater farming like done by the Seawater Foundation
Inland mariculture
Prevention of overgrazing and firewood use
Planting trees with dew and rain harvesting technology like the Groasis Waterboxx.
Farmer-managed natural regeneration
