Centennial Forestry Development of North Dakota State and its Lesson for China

摘要

The "Dust Bowl" happened in the Great Plains (including the North Dakota state) in the 1930s, and people wanted to plant trees to improve the environment. After a century of a hard work and many failures, forest land now covers 1.6% of the area in North Dakota Now, the Conservation Reserve Program has been implemented in North Dakota, which is very similar to the Conversion of Cropland tc Forest and Grassland project in China, such as Xilingol League. Tree species selection and price support measureswill also be suggested for adoption in China.
