[Objective] The aim was to explore physical properties and community characteristics of abandoned lands in different years in Minqin Oasis, downstream of the Shiyang River, [Method] The evolution of environment and plant community characteristics in different abandoned lands were analyzed after abandonment for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 24 and 31 years, and the plant community characteristics, water content, bulk density, porosity and mechanical composition of soil in the different a- bandoned lands were also researched in the Minqin Oasis, downstream of the Shiyang River. [Result] Plant of 32 species spread over 14 family live through fifty years appeared in abandoned lands in the study area. Shrubs was 6 species, herbs was 26 species among them, which were 18.75%, 81.25% respectively. The goose- foot family （6 species）, the composite family（4 species）,the grass family（4 species）, caltrop family（3 species） were 53.13% among them. Within the range of 0-40 cm of different abandoned Land, the soil moisture content showed a trend of first increase and then decrease with the increase of soil depth changes in soil bulk density and porosity of less obvious. In the range of 0-40 cm soil depth, the largest proportion of fine sand, followed by silt and clay and the smallest proportion of coarse sand in every plot, but the proportion of the each silt size varies little with the years aban- doned. [Conclusion] The research provides references for vegetation reconstruction and eco-environment construction in abandoned lands in downstream of Shiyang River.
干旱区的水资源限制了植物治沙应用范围，将仿真固沙灌木加入退化梭梭林，比较仿真固沙灌木＋梭梭的灌木林与塑料网方格沙障防风固沙效能，为仿真固沙灌木应用提供参考。在野外相同条件下观测比较仿真固沙灌木林与塑料网方格沙障内风速，结果显示：仿真固沙灌木＋梭梭灌木林的风速削减率与塑料网方格沙障的差异不显著；随着风速增大，仿真固沙灌木降低风速率与塑料网方格沙障降低风速率差异变小；在风速为8.1~8.9 m s-1时，仿真固沙灌木降低风速率达塑料方格沙障的80%；仿真固沙灌木＋梭梭灌木林的输沙率随高度变化为指数递减，是裸沙地的35%；仿真固沙灌木林的建立不受气候条件影响，可重复应用，与灌木搭配可增强防风固沙效能。
