在许多半干旱的地区中，同样存在树带界限的下限区域；在这片区域之内，由于缺乏水分，森林下沿区域的植被通常会逐渐变成干草原或沙漠。
In many semiarid areas there is also a lower timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge, usually because of a lack of moisture.
如果森林变成了沙漠，它会反射更多的阳光并且让气温降下来。
If you turn a forest into a desert, it reflects more sunlight and makes it cooler.
将来某一天，这里可能绿树成荫...最近一篇科学报告声称，把沙漠变成森林是最好的解决办法。

森林在哪里消失，沙尘暴就在哪里发生，天气会变得炎热而干燥，整个地球会变成一个大沙漠，大量的动植物会消失，没有地方再长庄稼，生活会变得很艰难，人类因为破坏森林的活动将受到惩罚。
The whole earth will become a big desert. A lot of plants and animals will disappear.Crops will not grow anywhere.
一些森林遭到了严重的破坏，变成了沙漠。
当森林里再也没有了树木，当动物们吃光了所有的草和植物，森林就将变成沙漠！
When there are no more trees in a forest and the animals eat the grass and small plants, the forest will become a desert!
当森林里再也没有了树木，当动物们吃光了所有的草和植物，森林就将变成沙漠！
