A cow consumes 3.3 tons of grass per year (S. Kanae, personal communication) Yield of grassland = ca. 0.4 - 4 tons per hectare A cow requires ca. 0.8-8 hectare of grassland Minimum Population Size=1000-2000 Required area for cow =800-16000 hectare

Question: History of desertification Mechanisms of desertification
In the 4th century of Loulan kingdom, food shortage became serious due to population increase. Therefore, humans begun double cropping that caused saline-soil problems due to inappropriate irrigation (Yamada, 2005)

Conclusion: • Takramakan desert has been wetland that wheat agriculture and stock-farming practiced. • A kingdom in this area, Loulan (ca.1600-2400BP.) had fertile land of at leastca. 17 sq.km for wheat, and 8sq.km for cattle. • Desertification of Takramakan desert was caused at least partly by human activities, such as heavy irrigation or waste of water.
