The Mongolian scotch pine's crucial role in combating desertification

Mongolian scotch pine is known for its strong root system and excellent freezing tolerance. Since its successful introduction to Zhangwu in Liaoning Province in the 1950s, it has played a vital role in controlling desertification. Widely adopted across the semi-arid areas of the country's northern regions, it has emerged as the flagship species of the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Project, also known as China's Great Green Wall.
