In this study, we conducted continuous high-frequency sampling of atmospheric dustfall in the Taklimakan hinterland during spring 2022, analyzing particle micromorphology, size distribution, mineral composition, deposition fluxes, and vertical dust characteristics. The results showed that the dustfall particles sampled in the Taklimakan hinterland were mostly micro-aggregates, angular, and subrounded based on the statistical analysis of the Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM). As determined by the Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer (LDPSA), the dustfall particles were predominately coarse particles, with particles between 20 μm and 80 μm accounting for 83.73 % of the total particle number. Volume proportion of dustfall particles with particle size of 60–150 μm was 72.41 %. Mineralogical analysis of dustfall particles using the Intelligent Scanning Electron Microscope Environmental Particle Analysis System (IntelliSEM EPAS) revealed that calcite was the dominant component (31.15 %), followed by quartz (18.52 %), chlorite (11.84 %), kaolinite (8.11 %), smectite (6.28 %), and illite (5.25 %). Halite was identified as the primary salt component, making up 9.52 % of detected particles. Vertical dust profiles derived by the ground-based Mie-scattering lidar indicated that large amounts of irregular dust floated in the tropospheric atmosphere over the Taklimakan Desert, causing a high depolarization ratio of more than 0.6 within 5 km of the surface. These dust aerosols suspended in the upper air with long periods were attributed to the frequent windblown dust weather over the Tarim Basin in spring, resulting in high ambient particulate concentration and dust deposition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arid Environments","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 105443"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Living space has primarily expanded in urban regions and their peripheries. Production space, initially declining, began increasing in the central urban and eastern areas. Land use transitions mainly occur from ecological lands to agricultural and urban areas. The reduction in ecological space is largely driven by the conversion of grasslands and forests to agricultural and industrial lands, particularly in core urban areas and their surrounding zones. Ecological environment quality in Wuwei exhibits both improvement and degradation, with regional variations. The primary positive change results from converting agricultural lands and grasslands into forests. However, the transformation of ecological land into agricultural areas has led to environmental degradation, including biodiversity loss and the decline of ecosystem functions.

Here, an in-situ fertilization experiment (0–12.5 g P m⁻² yr⁻¹) was performed to assess ecosystem C-P interactions in a temperate grassland. The addition of P alleviated P limitation, thereby stimulating plant nutrient uptake, the leaf area index, and plant diversity, and resulting in an increase of 18.92–53.64 % in gross primary productivity via enhanced photosynthetic capacity. Phosphorus addition stimulated the allocation of photosynthate to belowground tissues, and enhanced the litter quantity and quality, with a decreased litter C: nitrogen (N) and C:P ratios. This would have a positive impact on the ecosystem C release. Because gross primary productivity was higher than ecosystem C release, the net ecosystem CO₂ exchange in the grassland was stimulated which led to the production of a net C sink over the growing season.

This study applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to assess water scarcity across Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia. Buffer zones of 10, 20, and 50 km around key river systems particularly the Nile, Draa, and Medjerda—were analyzed to evaluate spatial relationships between water access, population density, and agricultural vulnerability. The findings reveal that the 10 km buffer zone around the Nile has undergone 45 % population increase between 2000 and 2020, placing extraordinary pressure on freshwater resources and irrigated agriculture. Libya and Algeria exhibit high hydrological vulnerability, lacking perennial rivers and relying on groundwater extraction, while Morocco and Tunisia face spatially uneven water access. GIS-based zonal statistics show that regions closest to rivers not only host the densest populations but also experience the highest evapotranspiration and land-use change. Over 60 % of North Africa's landmass is classified as high or very high risk for water stress and agricultural decline, particularly in dryland zones beyond 20 km from rivers. The study underscores the critical role of rivers in structuring settlement and farming patterns, while also identifying emerging hotspots of environmental degradation in interior drylands.
