阿德UID: 2478984

The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process. Once the soil has been removed by erosion, only the passage of centuries or millennia will enable new soil to form. In areas where considerable soil still remains, though, a rigorously enforced program of land protection and cover-crop planting may make it possible to reverse the present deterioration of the surface.

5# 阿德
这里相当于作后置定语。

过去分词，尤其是过去分词短语一般至于所修饰的名词之后，其意义相当于一定从，为简洁美化用。the people who are affectd.

用定从很累赘，句子显得繁琐不美。
