Desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem C pool and attendant reduction in Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). Reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. Our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...

In this study, we obtained real-time data on the stem fluid flow of Haloxylon ammodendron in growing season Minqin, China, based thermal diffusion (TDP) monitoring technology, and analyzed dynamic changes it to provide important supporting evidence for understanding water consumption H. during its growth. The results indicate that increases with increasing growth age also decreases as grows old...

In arid and semi-arid environments, desert vegetation plays an important role in preventing soil erosion by wind helps maintain the stability of oasis ecosystems. Four types typical vegetation, namely Populus euphratica, Haloxylon ammodendron, Nitraria sibirica, Halostachs caspica, corresponding to different habitats (i.e., river bank, sand dune, desert, salt marsh) were chosen as model this re...

The study of plant photosynthesis under different degrees drought stress can provide a deeper understanding the mechanism resistance. In Taklimakan Desert, saline groundwater is only local water source with regard to shelterbelt construction and determines growth photosynthetic changes. this study, daily dynamics gas exchange parameters their responses photon flux density at three irrigation le...

BACKGROUND Although semi-arid and arid regions account for about 40% of terrestrial surface of the Earth and contain approximately 10% of the global soil organic carbon stock, our understanding of soil organic carbon dynamics in these regions is limited. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A field experiment was conducted to compare soil organic carbon dynamics between a perennial grass community ...
