Water is the most important factor limiting the growth of sand-binding vegetation (SBV) in
desert ecosystems. This study explored the water sources and water use strategies of SBV …

Understanding the water use characteristics of plants is crucial for the sustainability of forest
water management and vegetation restoration. The vegetation restoration program in the …

Quantitative identification of water utilization characteristics of xerophytic shrubs is an
important prerequisite for the selection and optimization of a regional artificial sand-fixing …

Water is a limiting factor in the restoration and construction of desert steppe. Exploring plant
water sources is necessary to understand soil-plant interactions and species coexistence; …

The processes of species obtaining water resources are crucial to evaluate the adaptability
of plantations, which can affect the establishment and survival of restored ecosystems and …

Water is a limiting factor for plant growth and vegetation dynamics in alpine sandy land of
the Tibetan Plateau, especially with the increasing frequency of extreme precipitation events …

Soil water is the key abiotic limiting factor in desert areas and hydrological processes
determine the vegetation composition, patterns and processes in desert regions. The …

Abstract Hulunbuir, Otindag, Horqin and Mu Us are the four greater sandy lands in China.
They are typical ecologically fragile areas with limited ability to resist interference and are …

Abstract In the Horqin Sandy Land, the dynamics of the soil-plant-atmosphere-water system
and changes in plant water availability significantly impact water resources management …

In coastal ecosystems, water availability is limited because of the high soil salinity influenced
by sea water intrusion, high soil noncapillary porosity, and significant seasonal fluctuation of …
