A study looked at changes in vegetation in the Wulanmulun River Basin over 20 years. By analyzing satellite images, researchers found that overall vegetation improved, with less sand and more greenery. This improvement was likely due to increased rainfall and efforts like planting trees and fighting desertification. Coal mining had mixed effects on vegetation. Overall, the area saw more positive impacts than negative ones.
