You would have to reclaim the sands by slowly planting sand-tolerant introductory species, xerophiles, allow the detritus associated with those dead plants begin to stabilize the sand and create a shallow topsoil. From there you might be able to plant legumes, in deeper and deeper rooting varieties until the dead root systems would build the soil deeper. This project would go on and on for about 100 years before we could say "hurray!" but each decade would be better than the one before. The polar opposite of what we are dealing with now.Reclaming wasted land isn't easy, but it also isn't impossible either. It sure beats frying like ants under the CO2 maginfying glass we're under. My major was in environmental biology and I spent most of my youth growing up in a desert of the SW. I looked around and saw a few things, noticed things while the adults were yapping about the latest football game scores..
