History of desertification
Mechanisms of desertification
Literatures
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)
In a kingdom he visited, more than 4000 monks lived
From S. Hedin (1934)

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 least ca. 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.
