The dynamics variation of soil moisture of shelterbelts along the Tarim Desert Highway [PDF]
We studied the variation of soil moisture as well as its regularity over the irrigation cycle at shelterbelts along the Tarim Desert Highway at different site types and different planting years.

荒漠对气候变化具有高度敏感性,深刻认识和量化非生物因子对荒漠生态系统土壤呼吸的影响具有重要意义。采用自动CO2通量系统(Li-8100)监测了梭梭(Haloxylon ammodendron)、假木贼(Anabasis aphylla)和盐穗木(Halostachys caspica)群落生长季土壤呼吸及温度、土壤含水量等,深入分析了水热因子对土壤呼吸的影响。土壤呼吸具有不对称的日格局,最小值出现在8:00,最大值在12:00~14:00。土壤呼吸的季节格局与气温变化基本同步,最小值在生长季末期(10月)

Resource allocation of Psammochloa villosa changes with clonal expansion in dunes. Growth of plant height, leaf area and rhizome length increase with patch size, and allocation shifts toward aboveground relative to the rhizome at a certain size. Sexual ramets occurs only in sufficiently size at the expense of rhizome growth, highlighting the needs of ...

Environmental Limitations and Interspecific Interactions Across the Distribution Range of Gerbils
This study explores the environmental adaptability and interspecific relationships among seven gerbil species across arid regions of Central Asia. By integrating Maxent and Joint Species Distribution Models, we reveal species‐specific habitat preferences and key ecological factors shaping community assembly and coexistence in desert ecosystems ...

ABSTRACT Ecosystem services (ES) play a crucial role in sustainable development. We systematically assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem service supply (ES‐s) and demand (ES‐d) in China from 1990 to 2020 by using a supply–demand matrix integrated with land use/cover data. The findings indicate that in 2020, grasslands accounted for 28.

The salt accumulation at the shifting aeolian sandy soil surface with high salinity groundwater drip irrigation in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert [PDF]
The EC analysis and water serial sampling was performed in the Tarim Desert Highway shelterbelt to explore the water and salt dynamics of the shallow aeolian sandy soil (0-30cm) under high salinity groundwater drip irrigation.

Application of MICP in ameliorating erosion resistance of soil on reservoir banks
Abstract Regulating reservoirs with clay slopes are prone to severe erosion caused by wind‐wave actions and water‐level fluctuations. Conventional bank protection methods often rely on rigid structures, which can adversely affect ecosystems. This study explores the use of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for soil stabilization to ...
