A study on the biosphere reserve pattern of oasis economy based on eco-agricultural paradigm of mountain-basin systemin Xinjiang

The landscape zones from the Altay Mountains。the Gurbantunggut Desert， the Tianshan Mountains， the Faklimakan Desert to the Kunlun Mountains result in the converse zonation pattern of the biosphere reserve pattern of oasis economy Under the restricted conditions Of the inner transition aYea．the oasis’s econom y should be transformed into that of an island，for using the resources outside the biosphere reserve．The other strategy would be made to remodel the economy of the inner transition area to make it more productive and ecological sustainable．Suggestions have been made to set the Altay Mountains，the Gurbantunggut Desert，the Tianshan Mountains，the Taklimakan Desert and the Kunlun Mountains under protection zones for water sources or for biodiversities，to change the farmland area s near the desert boundaries into pastureland．
