Features: "The Series 'Natural Resources of China · Gansu Volume'" was jointly compiled by experts, scholars, and practitioners from various departments under the organization of the Gansu Provincial Planning Commission, in accordance with the unified deployment of the State Planning Commission. Population, resources, disasters, and the environment are several major issues that trouble contemporary humanity. Population growth demands more resources, and the rationality of resource development and utilization inevitably affects the environment either positively or negatively. Environmental improvement or deterioration, in turn, inevitably impacts the quantity of resources. Therefore, conducting in-depth and systematic quantitative and qualitative research and analysis of natural resources has become a significant task in economic and social development. Clarifying the quality, quantity, characteristics, and spatiotemporal patterns of a region's natural resources is a necessary prerequisite for regional resource ecology, resource economics, and resource strategy research. This series, compiled on the basis of extensive comprehensive and specialized research completed by predecessors, incorporates the essence of numerous new research findings, adjusts and updates some data, and ensures scientific rigor, accuracy, and practicality, possessing both theoretical depth and practical value.
