Impact of China's Large-Scale Ecological Restoration Program on the Environment and Society in Arid and Semiarid Areas of China: Achievements, Problems, Synthesis, and Applications (2011, background): “As a result of this forest degradation, environmental problems such as soil erosion and the loss of biodiversity, as well as natural hazards such as drought, floods, and sandstorms were occurring with increasing frequency ( Li, 2004 ).”
Plant diversity of secondary forests in response to anthropogenic disturbance levels in montane regions of northeastern China (2007, background): “China has very limited forest resources, which are mainly distributed in the northeastern and southwestern regions ( Li 2004 ).”
Implications for development of grain-for-green policy based on cropland suitability evaluation in desertification-affected north China (2007, background): “…population growth, coupled with the development of agriculture, industry and construction, the over-exploitation of forest resources and subsequent cultivation on steep slope have led to the deterioration of forest ecosystems and reduction in biodiversity in China (Li, 1998, 2004; Ho, 2005).”
