Compared to 2010, the greening area reached 30.80 km 2 after PV projects. Opportunity to combat desertification and improve people's welfare in desert areas. Solar energy is considered one of the key solutions to the growing demand for energy and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In recent years, the Chinese government has carried out a series of Photovoltaic Desert Control Projects, aiming to combine the efforts to develop the solar PV sector with measures to control desertification (CGTN, 2017; The state council of the P.R.C., 2019; Cui et al., 2017).
Therefore, considering the convenience for maintenance (i.e., road density), and the availability of social infrastructure (i.e., population density), these deserts become hot spots for the deployment of PV power stations, and account for approximately 80% of the total area. Fig. 4.
As renewable energy development is accelerating globally, more and more PV power stations are built in desert areas to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy (Kruitwagen et al., 2021; Li et al., 2018).
Overall, the greening area of all deserts is much larger than the degradation area, indicating an overall greening trend of desert vegetation after the PV power stations deployment. From 2011 to 2018, the greening area within the range of PV power stations increased to 30.8 km 2 substantially, with the largest greening area in 2016 (31.9 km 2).
Volume 324, 15 December 2022, 116338 China's deserts experienced rapid expansion of PV power stations. Remote sensing approaches were used to detect vegetation changes after PV projects. Compared to 2010, the greening area reached 30.80 km 2 after PV projects. Opportunity to combat desertification and improve people's welfare in desert areas.
