Understanding the attributes of the dual oasis effect in an arid region using remote sensing and observational data

Investigating the attributes of the dual oasis effect and oasis–desert interactions is crucial for understanding the climatic and ecological effects of oases. In this study, oasis effect intensity (OEI) was used as an indicator to investigate the factors that contribute to the dual oasis effect. The...
