Desert Highway

The Taklimakan desert is known as the largest dunefield in China and also as the world's second largest shifting sand desert. The Tarim Desert Highway, which is the first highway to cross the Taklimakan desert, was built for the purpose of oil and gas resources extraction in the Tarim area, as well as for the development of the southern area of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Shelterbelts have been planted along the highway to prevent shifting sand from burying the road. This paper analyzes the variations of moisture and salinity of the unirrigated desert soil under natural conditions in the center of Taklimakan Desert. A number of important findings indicating the moisture and salinity of the soil at capillary saturation zone were determined by the groundwater and related to the evaporation on the top. Salinity could be affected by vegetation, which was different from moisture in the soil. Meanwhile, clay layer played an important role in water preservation in the soil, which was also beneficial to the accumulation of salinity in soil. Compared with clay layer, vegetation was a decisive factor for the gathering of salinity. The findings were significant for reasonable adjustment of irrigation in the shelterbelts for the further development of the Tarim Desert Highway.

The soils were collected from the Taklimakan Desert Highway shelter-belt with different planting years in Xinjiang, northwest of China. The soil organic carbon stork (SOCstork) in each layers. By chemical and physical pretreatment, we measured four carbon passive organic carbons, i.e., microaggregates organic carbon(OCMIA), humus organic carbon (OCHS), carbon resistance to oxidation (OCNaClO) and acid hydrolysis (OCHCl). The results showed that the OC and SOCstork was decreased with soil depth mainly in 0-50 cm. The artificial vegetation have more influence on TOC, OCMIA and OCHS than OCNaClO and OCHCl. The Tamarix chinensis shelter-belt is the most helpful for carbon sequestration in sandy soil and stabilization in surface layer than Calligonum mongolicunl and Haloxylon ammodendron.

The Taklimakan Desert

This study evaluated the Noah land-surface model performance to simulate the land-surface process during different weather conditions in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert. This study is based on observation data from the Taklimakan Desert Meteorology Field Experiment Station in 2014. The results illustrated that the energy-exchange process between the land surface and the atmosphere in the drifting desert can be simulated by Noah effectively. However, the effects of soil moisture and latent heat flux were very poor. For sunny days, the soil temperature and heat flux were underestimated significantly in the nighttime and overestimated in the daytime. The simulation results are very good in sand-dust weather. The simulation of heat flux and net radiation is very consistent with the observation during cloudy days. For rainy days, the model can successfully model the diurnal variation of soil moisture, but it has obvious deviations in the net radiation, heat flux, and soil heat flux.
