Abstract  

In order to learn about the maintaining water sources of Haloxylon ammodendron, one of the most important desert plants in central Asia, and to detect its water source use strategy, we use stable isotope technology and serial samples to detect the water sources of H. ammodendron at the southern edge of Junggar Basin, China. Results show that H. ammodendron uses little snow in winter, but it can use shallow soil water from melted snow. The groundwater is a maintaining water sources for H. ammodendron, and the average proportion is 30% in winter and summer, and the maximum proportion can get 80% in water using of H. ammodendron. Moderate and heavy rainfall also influences this kind of plant. In 3-5 days after heavy rainfalls, the δ18O value of H. ammodendron xylem approaches the δ18O value of rainfall. This shows that H.ammodendron has different maintaining water sources. Groundwater and shallow soil water from melt snow are the most important water sources. Moderate and heavy rainfall is also one of important water sources.

Key words:  stable isotope technology      maintaining water      Haloxylon ammodendron      groundwater      precipitation variation
