"Although the scientific community has always emphasized the importance of oases, there has not been a clear map of the global distribution of oases," said Dongwei Gui, a geoscientist at the Chinese Academy of Science who led the study.

Gui and his co-investigators wanted to understand the global distribution and dynamic changes of oases and see how they respond to a changing environment, such as variations in climate, water resources and human activities.

The increase was concentrated in China, where management efforts have contributed more than 60% of the growth, Gui said.

These efforts are especially important as the climate continues to change, Gui said.

While higher temperatures increase glacier melt, temporarily boosting oases' water supplies, "as glaciers gradually disappear, the yield of meltwater will eventually decrease, leading to the shrinkage of oases once again," Gui said.
