The phenomenon of rocky desertification presents a serious obstacle to rural economic development.Control of rocky desertification is drawing increasing academic attention and is an increasing urgent problem for local government.This study focused on the appropriate st ructure and species diversity of artificial vegetation in rocky desertification areas

established as a means of control. It was concluded that artificial vegetation with a spatial structure and species disposition dominated by pricklyash peel is suitable for desertification control

and that this assemblage has an advantageous community structure

which develops uniformly and with ecological dominance

which increases with latitude and as the rocky desertification process identities. It is proposed that rocky desertification areas can be managed

with ecological and economic benefits

with the establishment and management if such well st ructured artificial vegetation.
