2015年，MTP项目与内蒙古通辽市巴胡塔苏木的召根嘎查和边界嘎查合作，以杂交杨树为主，对两个村的3块沙荒地进行了生态修复。 2015-1林地的立地条件较差，裸沙区域较多。也是当地农户的放牧场，存在大量的放牧行为。 2017年2015-1林地存活率跌至17.78%，同时树高和地径也有所下降，说明该地块存活状况不好，较高的树木也发生死亡。

Hybrid poplars were planted on three sandy plots, in cooperation with Zhaogen Gacha (village) and Bianjie Gacha in Bahuta Sumu in 2015. The local condition was harsh with massive bare sand. The locals use this plot for grazing, making the survival rate dropped dramatically to 17.78% in 2017.

在图中可以看到，林地整体的成活率低下，植被以少花蒺藜草这种一年生草本为主，林地状况的主导因素是放牧导致的退化。

The survival condition of trees is not promising, leaving the Cenchrus echinatus L.as the dominant species. The degrading of the land is mainly attributed to grazing.
