Features: This book can be used as a reference for disciplines such as physical geography, economics, hydrology, meteorology, as well as researchers working on oases and desertification. The development of oases has a long history. Oases are directly related to human survival, life, and production. To better protect, develop, and build oases, it is necessary to conduct more in-depth research on them. This book is primarily based on oases in Xinjiang, China, to elucidate the natural foundation, development process, and reasons for oases, as well as the patterns of their changes. It summarizes past experiences and lessons learned in transforming and utilizing oases, providing references for better building oases in the present and future, predicting their development trends, and identifying potential issues. It also calls for strengthening future research on oases and establishing the field of oasis studies.
