Accounting of value of ecosystem services in the desert: an example of the Kubuqi Desert ecosystem [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science
Ecological products and ecosystem services are essential for human survival and development. Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) is a method to combine the value of ecosystem services and can reflect the status of ecosystem and ecological conservation and ...

Different Responses of Growing Season Ecosystem CO₂ Fluxes to Rain Addition in a Desert Ecosystem [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Desert ecosystem CO2 exchange may play an important role in global carbon cycling. However, it is still not clear how the CO2 fluxes of shrub-dominated desert ecosystems respond to precipitation changes.

Sulphur isotopes in the central Namib Desert ecosystem [PDF]

Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, 2014
The Namib Desert is hyper-arid in terms of rainfall, but its ecology is influenced by frequent fog events. Fog utilisation by Namib biota has been well studied, but its role in nutrient deposition and cycling, particularly with respect to soil processes, still has open questions.

In the Qaidam Basin, Soil Nutrients Directly or Indirectly Affect Desert Ecosystem Stability under Drought Stress through Plant Nutrients [PDF]

Plants
The low nutrient content of soil in desert ecosystems results in unique physiological and ecological characteristics of plants under long-term water and nutrient stress, which is the basis for the productivity and stability maintenance of the desert ...
