Abstract

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the effects of different plant community types on wind speed and sediment transport in the Ulan Buh desert area. Three typical vegetation communities with Haloxylon ammodendron， Zygophyllum xanthoxylum， Tetraena mongolica， and Ammopiptanthus mongolicus as the dominant species were selected for wind and sand dynamic observations. The research results show that the roughness coefficient Z₀ of vegetation communities is related to the vegetation coverage c， vegetation height h， and wind speed U_Z by the function Z₀=a₀ch+b₀U_Z +c₀（where a₀>0 and b₀<0）. The sediment transport rate can be described by the exponential function model Q=exp（a₁ch+b₁v² +c₁）， where the wind speed v， vegetation factors， and sediment transport rate Q are related. Wind speed， as a key factor affecting roughness and sediment transport rate， is negatively correlated with roughness and positively correlated with sediment transport rate. Vegetation factors are positively correlated with roughness and negatively correlated with sediment transport rate. By establishing a multi-factor comprehensive relationship， it is possible to more accurately analyze the effects of plant community wind and sand movement， where the sediment transport rate changes with the influence factors in an exponential function manner. The coefficients of the fitting results and the contribution rates of the influencing factors can be used as quantitative indicators to evaluate the influence range of vegetation factors on roughness and sediment transport rate. In the Ulan Buh desert along the Yellow River， the Zygophyllum xanthoxylum+Tetraena mongolica community with a tight underlying surface structure has the most significant effects on roughness and sediment transport rate compared to other communities.

Key words: vegetation communities, sediment transport rates, aerodynamic roughness, Ulan Buh Desert
