The difference between shrub dunes and fixed dunes

1 answer
2025-01-11 20:11

The difference between shrub dunes and fixed dunes lies in the way they are formed and their geomorphological features. A shrub dune was a type of sand dune formed by sand particles accumulating around the shrubs. It was the most common sand dune among the semi-fixed sand dunes, usually round or oval. The height of the shrub sand dunes was affected by the plants. It was generally 1-5 meters, and some were as high as 10 meters. The vegetation of the shrub dune had the characteristics of being resistant to drought, wind erosion, sand burial, low temperature and heat. Fixed dunes referred to dunes with plant coverage greater than 30% or with a thin layer of clay or salt crust on the surface, which would not shift under the effect of wind. The formation of fixed sand dunes was closely related to plants. For example, shrubs and sand piles began to accumulate due to the blocking effect of plants. As the accumulation thickened, they grew taller and formed a unique landscape. Fixed sand dunes usually had better vegetation growth, and they gradually evolved into semi-fixed sand dunes far away from the river, and eventually evolved into fully activated sand dunes. In summary, shrub sand dunes were sand dunes formed by sandstorms encountering shrubs. They had circular or oval geomorphological features, while fixed sand dunes were sand dunes that did not shift under the effect of wind, with better vegetation growth and specific geomorphological features.

They were easy to move along the wind under the influence of the wind. It poses a great threat to transportation and industrial and agricultural construction. The moving speed of a moving sand dune is related to the height of the sand dune, the wind speed and its variation rate, and the condition of the underlying surface. It was mainly distributed in China's Xinjiang, the Yellow Plateau, and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. A fixed sand dune was a sand dune that had a relatively constant position. Most of the ground was covered by vegetation, covering more than 30%, causing the movement of sand to almost completely stop, and the position of the sand dune was relatively stable. The formation of fixed sand dunes was closely related to vegetation. The blocking effect of vegetation began to accumulate, and as the accumulation thickened, it grew taller, forming a multi-layered arc bedding structure. The fixed sand dunes had little effect on the sand movement. According to the information provided, moving sand dunes and fixed sand dunes could be distinguished according to the following characteristics: - Vegetation coverage: There is little vegetation on the surface of moving sand dunes, while most of the fixed sand dunes are covered by vegetation. - Sand dune mobility: Moving sand dunes are easy to move with the wind, while fixed sand dunes are relatively stable and almost do not move. - Sand dune shape: The moving sand dunes are typical, often in the shape of a crescent, while the fixed sand dunes are in the shape of multi-layered arc bedding structure.
