JIA Bao-quan, CI Long-jun, HAN De-lin, YANG Jie-quan. REVIEW AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS OF OASIS RESEARCH IN ARID REGION[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 2000, 15(4): 381-388.

From four aspects, that is, the formation and development process of oasis, the climatic effect, the research on the oasis agriculture and the ecological environment protection of oasis, the author reviews summary of the status of the research on oasis at home and abroad. Through analyses, the authors find that the research on oasis exists following three problems in spite of the rich achievements. The first is the confusion of conception which goes a step further to result in the other derative mistaken. The second, although the research on the man-made oasis is deeper comparatively and so does its outcome, the research on the nature oasis is rather weak. The third, due to the narrowness of the research vision and the lack of comparative analysis with other relevant region, the practical value of former research result cann' t be determined. Although there exist divergences in the oasis research, the author find that there is a common base in works which is that researcher on oasis all consider that the oasis is one types of landscape in arid region, but there is a few research work on this aspects. We think this is a very important research direction.
