Deserts
Just a dumb question, is it possible to transform deserts into forests?
Names, secret names
But never in my favour

It's you I love
Re: Deserts
Well people have gardens out in desert areas, i think its possible but not self sustaining ?
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: Deserts
Lets think if it wasn't a garden, it was the Sahara desert.

Re: Deserts
With enough water anything is possible.
Plenty of mining communities in Aus that have townships full of trees where there once was just desert.
The reverse is true too. Chop down enough trees and you can create a desert.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Thats kind of what i meant, it was desert, and then people made gardens...

Re: Deserts
Humans tend to cheat and up the soil quality, making the forest grow faster (otherwise you would only get trees that can grow in sand for the first decades atleast). That is if you provide enough water of course.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: Deserts
The Sahara was a grassland/forest at one time, wasn't it? Granted, that was several tens of thousands of years ago...a few years before my time.........
Re: Deserts
Yes it is done. Both as small scale and large scale projects:

If I may change focus from fact to fiction I would suggest you read the Dune series of books by Frank Herbert. Dune is a desert planet with absolutely no open water. Over thousands of years it is turned into a green planet and then into desert again.
