“…This means that some semi-desert areas with little rainfall have a greater chance of partly becoming oases in some extent, and even producing agricultural products, because the water retention conditions around plant roots can be improved. Despite some academic queries, the existing facts show that this technique is undoubtedly a great blessing for those areas that had degenerated into deserts due to human excessive activities in history (Yi et al, 2022). However, these testing projects are neither combined with photovoltaic power generation, nor related to stable supply of fresh water, which needs to be constantly transmitted from other places into the deserts or semi-deserts.…”

Allocating the national carbon neutrality target seems to be a difficult problem, in which there is a tradeoff between spatial equity and energy-based efficiency. However, if preferentially developing low-carbon economy for some areas rich in renewable energy sources is a national strategy considering domestic air mobility, then the relationship between equity and efficiency may be balanced. Based on Tone's Super-SBM model and "Aversion to CO 2 "-SBM model with two different scenarios, etc., the results sustain that some provincial regions of China had a bigger contribution to carbon neutrality by improving the energy efficiency under a new hypothetical standard of very low carbon emissions, and the national industrial structure adjustment of China might obtain a longer strategic opportunity period. In addition, the author detected a seemingly bizarre idea from the vast sea of literature, and advisedly named it as "Herman Cycle". Deduced from the results and inspired by the "Herman Cycle", this paper proposes an alternative scheme or a strategic path for China to move smoothly towards carbon neutrality in the coming future.

“…It has been demonstrated that desert soilization works well for controlling desertification, promoting ecological rebound, managing land use, and sequestering carbon. It provides a viable substitute for conventional desert management techniques and has great potential to counteract desertification (Yi, Z. et al, 2022a).…”

Desert soilization is a novel strategy for transforming barren dry areas into vibrant, rich oases. This revolutionary process involves integrating organic matter, nutrients, and water-retaining technology to improve soil fertility in harsh desert conditions. Desert soilization seeks to overcome the obstacles posed by high aridity by implementing sustainable agriculture methods and utilizing cutting-edge technologies. The goal is to create profitable and sustainable ecosystems that promote biodiversity, support agriculture, and potentially mitigate desertification. The paradigm shift in land management holds promise for regions dealing with the effects of climate change and water scarcity. Egypt must use soilization techniques to convert barren land into productive land, improving soil fertility and boosting sustainable agriculture. This approach is crucial for food security, biodiversity, and economic development in arid regions.
