New evidence of agricultural activity and environmental change associated with the ancient Loulan kingdom, China, around 1500 years ago
The ancient kingdom of Loulan on China’s Silk Road has disappeared for about 1500 years. Historical records have documented widespread cultivation in Loulan which supported the kingdom’s prosperity for hundreds of years. However, no farmland ruins have been found although the ancient Loulan city was discovered more than 100 years ago. In this study, remotely sensed, geomorphic and geological observations of possible farmlands in Loulan were analy…
Evolution of the Lop Desert and the Lop Nor
The Lop Desert, or the Lop Depression, is located in the innermost part of the largest continent (Eurasia) in the world. It is also the lowest part, or sink, of the largest inland basin (Tarim Basin) in China. With an elevation of 810-900 m a.s.l. in its peripheral area and 780-795 m a.s.l. in the depression's centre, it has an area of about 50000 km2. The climate is extremely arid with mean annual precipitation generally less than 20 mm, and the…
