Populus euphratica is an important tree species in desert ecosystems. The protection and restoration of natural forests requires accurate positioning information. use Sentinel-2 images to map the distribution at a large scale faces challenges associated with discriminating between Tamarix chinensis. To address this problem, study selected Daliyabuyi Oasis hinterland Taklimakan Desert as site so...

Leaf epidermal micromorphology and mesophyll structure during the development of Populus euphratica heteromorphic leaves, including linear, lanceolate, ovate, dentate ovate, dentate rhombic, dentate broad-ovate and dentate fan-shaped leaves, were studied by using electron and light microscopy. During development of heteromorphic leaves, epidermal appendages (wax crystals and trichomes) and spec...

Accurate and efficient large-scale mapping of P. euphratica distribution is great importance for managing protecting forests, policy making, realizing sustainable development goals in the ecological environments desert areas. In large regions, numerous types vegetation exhibit spectral characteristics that closely resemble those euphratica, such as Tamarix, artificial allée trees, posing challe...
