Description

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located in northern Chi:t).a and characterized by a semi-arid climate. Most of the area is used as pasture land, although a small part in the south is used as agricultural land to meet the need of food for the r􀀂sidents. In recent years, the land is becoming degradated and its _environment becoming more sensitive to the climatic changes and the influence of human activity than it was before. This is, in part, due to the original productive pattern and irrational utilization of land. In this stu􀀉y, remote sensing technique which is a very effec­. tive method m resource investigation of large areas is applied.
