Abstract:
AbstractSoils in similar geomorphic settings in hyperarid deserts (< 50 mm yr−1) should have similar characteristics because a negative moisture balance controls their development. However, Reg soils in the hyperarid southern Negev and Namib deserts are distinctly different. Soils developed on stable alluvial surfaces with only direct input of rainfall and dust depend heavily on rainfall characteristics. Annual rainfall amount can be similar (15–30 mm), but storm duration can drastically alter Reg soil properties in deserts. The cooler fall/winter and dry hot summers of the southern Negev Desert with a predominance brief (≤ 1 day) rainstorms result in gypsic-saline soils without any calcic soil horizon. Although the Namib Desert receives only 50–60% of the southern Negev annual rainfall, its rainstorm duration is commonly 2–4 days. This improves leaching of the top soil under even lower annual rainfall amount and results in weeks-long grass cover. The long-term cumulative effect of these rare rain-grass relationships produces a calcic-gypsic-saline soil. The development of these different kinds of desert soils highlights the importance of daily to seasonal rainfall characteristics in influencing soil-moisture regime in deserts, and has important implications for the use of key desert soil properties as proxies in paleoclimatology.

Abstract:
Dust supply is important to sandstorm occurrence as well as wind regime. Dust supply is closely related to groundsurface conditions showed by these index soil physical composition, soil moisture, vegetation cover, human activities. The physical conditions of groundsurface in the Tarim basin is distributed in a ringlike pattern. From edge to hinterland, there are various landscapes in turn as follow: mountains, piedmont pluvial and alluvial fans and plains and shifting desert. At the same time, in this turn, different types of soil has been developed there: brown desert soil, ancient oasis cultivated soil (anthropogenic-alluvial soil), swamp soil, desert forest meadow soil, paddy soil, saline soil, takyr soil, shifting sandy soil, and so on. Through comprehensive analysis, some conclusions were drew as the follow: (1)shifting deserts are the major dust source of sandstorm occurred in the hinterland and the south fringe of the Taklimakan Desert; (2)cultivated soils are another dust source of sandstorm occurred in oasis areas disturbed by high-intensity human activities; (3) gobi deserts in upper of piedmont pluvial and alluvial fans and desert forest areas on alluvial plains are the potential dust sources with high dust-emitting ability that can be activiated by human activities.

Abstract:
The comparison of modern climatic conditions and soil salinity in subboreal deserts of Middle Asia (Turanian plain) and Central Asia (Gobi deserts) shows that climate has an effect on salinity of hydromorphic soils. From the other hand, the distribution and degree of salinity of automorphic desert soils are predominantly governed by the distribution of salt-bearing rocks inherited from the previous geologic stages and are not related directly to the modern aridity. This fact allows us to state that the global warming will not promote salinization of automorphic soils of arid regions, except for the soils subjected to aeolian salinization. Climate aridification will provoke soil salinization in hydromorphic conditions.

Abstract:
We compared patterns of species diversity, locomotory morphology, feeding modes, and spatial organisation for rodent communities in four Asian deserts (Kyzylkum, Gobi, ?Thar, Negev) and one North American (Chihuahuan) desert. Deserts were similar in gamma and alpha diversity. A positive relationship between regional species diversity (and biomass) and mean annual precipitation was found. The Asian deserts showed a greater degree of divergence and specialisation between bipedal and quadrupedal forms. The range of feeding modes was similar in deserts on both continents, but the Negev was the only Asian desert in which granivory was as important as in the Chihuahuan. Temperate Asian desert rodents were organised into spatial guilds, separated primarily by characteristics of the soil and perennial vegetation. North American desert rodent species overlapped more extensively in habitat use. The similarities and differences between these deserts can be explained by their biogeographic histories.

Abstract:
Deserts cover a significant proportion of the Earth’s surface and continue to expand as a consequence of climate change. Mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are functionally important plant root symbionts, and may be particularly important in drought stressed systems such as deserts. Here we provide a first molecular characterization of the AM fungi occurring in several desert ecosystems worldwide. We sequenced AM fungal DNA from soil samples collected from deserts in six different regions of the globe using the primer pair WANDA-AML2 with Illumina MiSeq. We recorded altogether 50 AM fungal phylotypes. Glomeraceae was the most common family, while Claroideoglomeraceae, Diversisporaceae and Acaulosporaceae were represented with lower frequency and abundance. The most diverse site, with 35 virtual taxa (VT), was in the Israeli Negev desert. Sites representing harsh conditions yielded relatively few reads and low richness estimates, for example, a Saudi Arabian desert site where only three Diversispora VT were recorded. The AM fungal taxa recorded in the desert soils are mostly geographically and ecologically widespread. However, in four sites out of six, communities comprised more desert-affiliated taxa (according to the MaarjAM database) than expected at random. AM fungal VT present in samples were phylogenetically clustered compared with the global taxon pool, suggesting that nonrandom assembly processes, notably habitat filtering, may have shaped desert fungal assemblages.

Abstract:
Field experiments aimed at investigating N fertilizer management in irrigated cotton production have been conducted for the past 16 seasons at three University of Arizona Agricultural Centers (Maricopa, MAC; Marana, MAR; and Safford, SAC). In 2003, residual N studies were conducted at two of these locations (MAC and MAR). The MAC and SAC experiments have been conducted each season since 1989 and the Marana site was initiated in 1994. Original purposes of the experiments were to test nitrogen (N) fertilization strategies and to validate and refine N fertilization recommendations for Upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and American Pima (G. barbadense L.) cotton. Each experiment has utilized N management tools such as pre-season soil tests for NO₃⁻-N, in-season plant tissue testing (petioles) for N fertility status, and crop monitoring to ascertain crop fruiting patterns and crop N needs. At each location, treatments varied from a conservative to a more aggressive approach of N management. Results at each location revealed a strong relationship between fruit retention levels and N needs of the crop. This pattern was further reflected in the final yield analysis as a response to the N fertilization regimes used. The higher, more aggressive N application regimes did not consistently benefit yields at any location. Generally, the more conservative, feedback approach to N management provided optimum yields at all locations. In 2001, a transition project evaluating residual N effects associated with each treatment regime was initiated with no N fertilizer applied. Therefore, all N taken-up by the crop was derived from residual soil N. In 2001, 2002, and even 2003 there were no significant differences among the original fertilizer N regimes in terms of residual soil NO₃⁻-N concentrations, crop growth, development, lint yield, or fiber properties. Lint yields were very uniform at each location in 1991 and averaged 1500, 1100, and 850 lbs. lint/acre for MAC, MAR, and SAC, respectively. In 2002, results were very similar and yields averaged 1473 and 1060 lbs. lint/acre for MAC and MAR locations respectively. The results for 2003 were similar to the results of the prior two years with yields at 1322 and 1237 lbs. lint/acre for MAC and MAR, respectively. Trends associated with residual fertilizer N effects are not evident at either location following three consecutive seasons of N fertilizer treatments.

Full text
Abstract:
The rate at which volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are removed from the vadose zone by forced ventilation may be reduced by slow micro-scale processes such as diffusion through intra-aggregate and pore water and slow reactions at sorption sites located at the soil-water interface. Column experiments using benzene and p-xylene were performed in order to simulate cleanup of VOC's in the vadose zone by forced ventilation. Analytical solutions of the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation coupled to mass transfer equations were fitted to the data. Parameter estimates were used in order to determine time scales of diffusion through water, desorption from, and sorption to, soil organic matter. Lower limits for the time scales for these processes were calculated to be on the order of minutes. Results indicate that these micro-scale processes reduce the rate of removal on the laboratory scale but may have no effect on the field scale.

Abstract:
Biological activity in desert soils is driven by water availability. The nature of individual precipitation events is critical to understanding soil moisture availability. Rain falls as discrete events (pulses) that vary in size and sequencing, resulting in soil "wet-dry cycles". Soil organisms are responsive to wet-dry cycles with rapid changes in activity. How soil activity is driven by changes in water content associated with individual pulses is poorly understood. The effects of precipitation on soil processes likely depend on ecosystem structure, which influences the soil environment. The goal of this dissertation was to determine how soil carbon cycling responds to precipitation in the context of ecosystem structure (plant composition, geomorphology) and climate.I used differences in stable carbon isotopic composition of soil organisms and plants to understand how positioning in the soil profile influences biological responses to different sized pulses. I evaluated how soil texture and grass species composition affect soil process response to rainfall in different seasons. I manipulated rainfall sequence to understand the interaction between closely spaced rainfall events of different sizes on soil processes. I evaluated the role of plant functional types in influencing soil microclimate and litter deposition and the response of soil processes to seasonal rainfall.Chamber measurements of soil and plant CO2 flux were used to understand their response to rainfall. I found that surface organisms are more responsive to small rainfall events due to the relationship between pulse size and infiltration. While soil texture and season of rainfall are important, the best predictor of the response of soil respiration to rainfall was initial activity levels. Grass species was not important. Grass roots and soil microbes differ in response to sequences of precipitation. Grasses responded less to subsequent large events if they were already 'activated' by a recent rainfall event. The effect of plant functional type was size dependent with differences occurring only with large shrubs. This work suggests that large scale simulations of soil carbon cycling in deserts should carefully consider wet-dry transitions in the context of plant functional type and initial soil condition in order to predict the responses to global change.

Abstract:
Four batch and four column experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption of salicylic acid onto aluminum oxide. Nine column experiments were performed using fulvic acid as a sorbate, and aluminum oxide and a desert soil with a low fraction organic carbon (f(OC)) ( 0.009 percent) as sorbents. Batch experiments provided estimates of partition coefficient that were eight to ten times larger than column estimates. A two-site kinetic model was used to interpret the observed tailing of breakthrough curves. Kp estimates for fulvic acid on desert soil ranged from 3 to 23 cm³/g. The time scale of the desorption reaction is 12 days. The majority of the sorption sites appear to be kinetically controlled. Results suggest that recharge of untreated Central Arizona Project water through desert washes will remove only 10-15 percent of the fulvic acid present after two void volumes have infiltrated. This may eventually contaminate existing groundwater supplies with trihalomethane precursors.

Abstract:
Thermal conductivity is one of the basic thermal properties of soil. For a buried pipeline, the thermal conductivity of the surrounding soil is the most important factor determining the overall heat transfer from the pipeline, and plays an important role in assessing the safety and energy consumption of pipeline operation. For providing reliable basic data for the commissioning and the operation of a waxy crude oil pipeline stretching in southwest Sahara Desert, six phases of thermal conductivity testing were performed along the pipeline route, respectively in February, March, April, May, July and September, 2011. The pipeline is 462.5km long and 323.9mm outside diameter. The pipeline route crosses tropical desert and grassland. Test points are located at roughly equal spaces along the pipeline route, and additional test points are located in seasonal river beds and rugged terrains. The soil temperature and thermal conductivity were tested simultaneously at a depth of about130cm below soil surface, which is also near to the pipeline centerline. The test equipment used was a field thermal needle system FTN01 for thermal conductivity made in Holland. For a given location along the pipeline route, the soil thermal conductivities have different values in dry season and rainy season. The average soil thermal conductivities for the pipeline route between two stations ranges from 0.5 to 1.1W/(m·°C) in rainy season, and from 0.4 to 0.8 W/(m·°C) in dry season. The test results show that the change of soil moisture content has significant impact on soil thermal conductivity. Because other properties of the tested soil along the pipeline route such as soil mineral composition, particle size distribution and density have no significant change, these factors have little effect on soil thermal conductivity.
