Features: This book systematically studies the coordinated development of ecological, economic, and technical models in the governance of desertification in China, analyzes the institutional evolution and effectiveness of desertification governance, proposes institutional innovation approaches, and explores this specific issue of ecological degradation, presenting an operable ecological-economic theoretical model. From the perspective of the intersection of geography, ecology, and economics, the book analyzes the reasons for the unsatisfactory effectiveness of desertification governance in China, particularly the issues related to models and institutions, and proposes a "trinity" ecological-economic model centered on three main components: efficient resource utilization in desertified areas, technical innovation and dissemination, and desert ecological restoration focused on desertification governance, as well as industrial economic development centered on agricultural industrialization. Starting with institutional analysis, the book examines the problems in China's desertification governance policies and proposes reasonable institutional arrangements. Additionally, it introduces a desertification governance technology developed and successfully implemented for the first time by the author. This book represents new achievements in the research of desertification and ecological economics, offering reference and guidance for the social and economic development of desertified regions and for research on desertification prevention and control. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and government personnel involved in ecological management, regional economic development, and desertification governance.
