The annual ecological investigation data of desert vegetation with different desert types in the Heihe River Basin (2012)

The year-end ecological investigation was conducted in the late September and early October when plants stopped growing. There are 8 investigation and observation fields, they are: piedmont desert, piedmont Gobi, desert in the middle, Gobi in the middle reaches, desert in the middle reaches, downstream desert, downstream Gobi, and downstream desert, the size of each filed is 40m×40m. Three large quadrats of 20m×20m were selected in each observation field, named S1, S2, and S3, to conduce the regular shrub investigation; four small quadrats were selected from each large quadrat with a size of 5m×5m, named A, B, C, D, to conduct herbal investigation.

The data of canopy photosynthesis measurements of desert plants (2013)

In the middle of August 2013, photosynthesis of population was measured, and plant species: red sand. The group photosynthesis measurement system consists of li-8100 closed-circuit soil carbon flux automatic measurement system (li-cor, USA) and assimilation box designed and manufactured by Beijing ligotai science and Technology Co., Ltd. li-8100 is an instrument produced by li-cor company of USA for soil carbon flux measurement. The concentration of CO2 and H2O is measured by infrared gas analyzer. The length, width and height of assimilation boxes were all 50 cm. The assimilator is controlled by li-8100. After the measurement parameters are set, the instrument can run automatically.

The experimental data of water consumption and water consumption pattern of desert plants (2012)

A small lysimeter was made by ourselves, which simulated the natural conditions and selected typical desert plants as the object to study the water consumption and its law. Repeat 3 times for each plant. In 2011, the experiment of physiological water demand and water consumption of desert plants was carried out with the soil water content kept at (50 ± 10)% of the field water capacity; in 2012, the experiment of physiological water demand and water consumption was carried out with the soil water content kept at (20 ± 5)% of the field water capacity under stress.

The experimental data of water consumption in drought stress of desert plants (2013)

A small lysimeter was made to simulate the natural conditions and select typical desert plants as the objects to study the water consumption of drought stress treatment. Repeat 3 times for each plant. In 2012, the soil water content was kept at (20 ± 5)% of the field water capacity, and experiments on physiological water demand and water consumption were carried out under stress. In 2013, the soil water content was kept at (10 ± 3)% of the field water capacity, and further experiments on water consumption and water consumption law were carried out under drought stress.
