The vertical distribution of the root system of the desert highway shelterbelt in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert [PDF]

Science Bulletin, 2008
In this work, the vertical distribution of the root system in the Tarim Desert Highway shelterbelt under high salinity water drip irrigation was investigated. The effect of site condition and shelterbelt age was studied. The root sample was collected by plant side soil column excavation.

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

The Age of the Taklimakan Desert

Science, 2006
The Taklimakan Desert is located in the foreland basin of the Tibetan Plateau. We report here the results of stratigraphic investigations of a 1626-meter-thick sequence with interbedded wind-blown silt from the southern marginal Taklimakan Desert. Because the studied section is located downwind of the desert, the eolian silt accumulation is closely ...

Groundwater Chemical Characteristics in the Taklimakan Desert

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
The Taklimakan Desert, located in the center of the Tarim Basin, northwest China, is the arid center of the Europe-Asia Continent. Due to the scarcity of surface water resources in the Taklimakan desert, the groundwater feeding water supply system was constructed by some ecological engineering and power engineering such as Tazhong Oilfield and the ...

Ground surface features of the Taklimakan Desert

Advances in Space Research, 1996
Abstract In an attempt to utilize satellite data to obtain land surface features of Taklimakan Desert in China, in situ measurements of spectral reflectance of the land surface is made the portable spectro radiometer in the spectral range of 400 ∼ 2500 nm. The analyses of the data show following features. (1) The difference in spectral reflectance of

New evidence on the age of the Taklimakan Desert

Geology, 2009
The Taklimakan Desert is the world's second-largest shifting sand desert, located in the rain shadow of the Tibetan Plateau. The initiation of desert formation in the Asian interior is one of the most prominent climate changes in the Northern Hemisphere during the Cenozoic Era. Dating the earliest formation of this desert is important for understanding

Re-os isotope systematics of the Taklimakan Desert sands, moraines and river sediments around the taklimakan desert, and of Tibetan soils

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2003
Abstract Reported here are the first 187Os/188Os ratios and abundances of Os and Re for Taklimakan Desert sands and glacial moraines from the Kunlun Mountains. Osmium isotopic data are also reported for river sediments around the Taklimakan Desert, river sediments from the Kunlun and Tianshan Mountains, Tibetan soils and loesses from the Loess ...

Threshold Velocity for Saltation Activity in the Taklimakan Desert

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2017
The threshold velocity is an indicator of a soil’s susceptibility to saltation activity and is also an important parameter in dust emission models. In this study, the saltation activity, atmospheric conditions, and soil conditions were measured from 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2009 in the Taklimakan Desert, China.
