Features: This book utilizes meteorological observation data from 120 weather stations in Inner Mongolia and statistical data on locust occurrences from 1971 to 2003 to comprehensively and systematically analyze the regional distribution of climatic elements such as temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, surface temperature, and soil moisture in Inner Mongolia. It elaborates on the correlation between climatic elements and locust occurrences in four aspects: climatic background analysis (long-term averages and interdecadal anomalies), climatic habitat conditions and variations during locust development periods, climatic values and anomalies in light locust years (1995) and heavy locust years (2001). Additionally, the book includes vegetation index distributions in June–July during light locust years (1995) and heavy locust years (2001), atmospheric circulation factors, and relevant research findings. The book is rich in visual resources and is currently one of the most comprehensive and systematic atlases reflecting the climatic conditions and the relationship between grassland locust occurrences in Inner Mongolia. It provides valuable references for personnel involved in grassland locust prevention, grassland conservation, agricultural climate, ecology, and disaster prevention. It can also be used as a reference for researchers and students in related fields.
