Sand harm in Taklimakan Desert highway and sand control

Journal of Geographical Sciences, 2003
Reputed as a wonderful achievement of the world’s highway construction history, the Taklimakan Desert highway is now facing serious sand drift encroachment problems due to its 447-km-long passage of sand sea consisting of crescent dunes, barchan chains, compound transverse dune ridges and complex megadunes.

Diversity of ionizing radiation‐resistant bacteria obtained from the Taklimakan Desert

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2013
So far, little is known about the diversity of the radiation‐resistant microbes of the hyperarid Taklimakan Desert. In this study, ionizing radiation (IR)‐resistant bacteria from two sites in Xinjiang were investigated. After exposing the arid (water content of 0.8 ± 0.3%) and non‐arid (water content of 21.3 ± 0.9%) sediment samples to IR of 3000 Gy ...

Streptomyces taklimakanensis sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from the Taklimakan desert

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2020
A novel Streptomyces strain, designated TRM43335T, was isolated from the Taklimakan desert in Alar City, Xinjiang, north-west China. The strain was found to exhibit an inhibitory effect on biofilm formation by Candida albicans and Staphylococcus epidermidis. A polyphasic approach was used to determine its taxonomic status.

Formation and internal structure of Tamarix cones in the Taklimakan Desert

Journal of Arid Environments, 2002
Abstract The distribution, formative process, and internal structures of Tamarix cones located in the southern part of the Taklimakan Desert were investigated over 3 years (from 1993 to 1995). Typical dunes were excavated in order to observe the internal structures of Tamarix cones.

Controlling blown sand along the highway crossing the Taklimakan Desert

Journal of Arid Environments, 2004
The Taklimakan Desert is the largest dunefield in China and the second largest shifting dunefield in the world. Control of the blown sand is important for the highway and oil bases there. Comprehensive studies suggest that the effective and feasible measures to control the blown sand include reed checkboard barriers, upright clustered reed fences ...
