英文摘要	The dry lands ill China and Mongolia include sand seas, gravel deserts, stable sand dunes, desert steppe, steppe and scrubwoodlands environments distributed in a wide range of geomorphological and tectonic settings, front 155 m below sea level to more than 5000 m asl. In China, the sandy deserts and gravel deserts are located in the arid regions mainly west of the Helan Mountains (similar to 106degreesE), whereas the stable dune regions are distributed in the semi-arid areas east of the Helan Mountains. In Mongolia, deserts cover more than 40% of the country. They are mainly distributed in the Southern and southwestern part of the country, in inter-mountain valleys and basins of the Altai Mountains, and in the Uvs Nuur Basin in northwestern Mongolia. The desert regions enclose mainly gravel desert (=Gobi) and comprise some areas with sand fields and dune fields, especially in western Mongolia.
