DESERT MYTH AND CLIMATIC REALITY∗

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1981
ABSTRACT Students of the American frontier have assumed that the myth of the Great American Desert was derived from the notions of a few men rather than from the probable reality of the experienced environmental conditions. The “illusion’ of the Great American Desert has not been considered from a climatological perspective; no serious attempts have ...

Desert Environment and Climate Observation Network over the Taklimakan Desert

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2020
AbstractAs the second-largest shifting sand desert worldwide, the Taklimakan Desert (TD) represents the typical aeolian landforms in arid regions as an important source of global dust aerosols. It directly affects the ecological environment and human health across East Asia. Thus, establishing a comprehensive environment and climate observation network

Climate Change in Deserts

2014
Reconstructing climatic changes in deserts and their margins at a variety of scales in space and time, this book draws upon evidence from land and sea, including desert dunes, wind-blown dust, river and lake sediments, glacial moraines, plant and animal fossils, isotope geochemistry, speleothems, soils, and prehistoric archaeology.

Cenozoic Climates in Deserts

2009
Deserts are superb repositories of geological, geomorphic and archaeological evidence. The very aridity to which they owe their existence has enabled them to preserve a remarkably good record of past depositional and erosional events. The fossil river valleys of the Sahara, the great salt lakes of Australia, China, and Patagonia, the dissected volcanic

Impacts of Soil Climate on Desert Scrubs Distribution in the Mojave Desert

Arid Land Research and Management, 2013
Based on the mean annual soil temperature collected with the Pallmann method and data on evaporation, precipitation, and the perennial plant species in 75 monitoring sites in the Mojave Desert from 1982 to 2000, we investigated the interrelationships of soil temperature and aridity on the distribution of several dominant desert scrubs in the Mojave ...

Genetic structure and climatic correlates of desert landsnails

Oecologia, 1981
Allozymic variation in proteins encoded by 20 loci was analyzed electrophoretically in 126 adult specimens representing 4 populations and 2 species of the desert landsnail Trochoidea, subgenus Xerocrassa, in a variable desert climatic back-ground of temperature and water factors.
