Abstract

Abstract:

The ecological environment is fragile in the Mu Us Sandy Land. Although as a whole the desertification has been reversed in recent years, there is still sand dune activation in the northwest of the sandy land and the sandstorm activity is strong, which has impact on the downwind vegetation restoration and agricultural and pastoral production. Google Earth satellite images were used to monitor the migration characteristics of bare dunes and dunes with vegetation in the northwest of the Mu Us Sandy Land from 2002 to 2015, and the internal relationship between vegetation cover and dune migration was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The sand transport activity in the northwest of Mu Us Sandy Land is more serious than any other regions. The dune migration rate is 0.38-6.05 m·a^-1, and dune migration direction is 122.5° which is similar to the local resultant drift direction. The average migration rate of dunes with vegetation is 2.29 m·a^-1, while that of bare sand dunes is 4.59 m·a^-1. (2) The dune migration rate is negatively correlated with dune height, but the correlation coefficient is lower than previous studies, which is closely related to spatio-temporal changes of vegetation cover. (3) Dune morphology is complex. Vegetation coverage has a significant impact on the dune morphology, which leads to the dune fixation and pie shaped dune morphology. (4) The dune migration rate is also affected by wind regime, surface salinization and sand-fixing measures on both sides of roads.

Key words: dune migration, dune morphology, vegetation, Mu Us Sandy Land
