Abstract

.In this paper, we study the land desertification status and distribution in YLN region of Tibet and analyzed the driving factors using Landsat satellite image of 2000-2009 and some observational materials. The result show that, in 2009, total desertified land area is 4253km2 which included 1388km2 sandy type desertified land and 2864km2gritty typedesertified land. In research area, distribution of desertified land was uneven. The area of sandy land in the westernwas more than that of the eastern. From 2000 to 2009, sandy land area increased 17 km2, the average annual growth rate of0.44‰. Desertification in the study area was the result ofcombination of natural and social factors. The influence of wind and evaporation were the biggest factor in nature, and the influence of human behaviorwas the most in social.
