我国温带荒漠生物土壤结皮孔隙结构分布特征

X-ray micro-CT imaging coupled with 3D image analysis based on specific procedures for porous media have been applied to the analysis of the porosity structure of the lichen crusts at the Shapotou Desert Research and Experiment Station in the Tengger Desert,northern China.The results indicated that it will provide a very accurate quantification of the internal structure of lichen crusts due to stabilization of sand dune of different age.The general trend with the age of the lichen crusts is a reduction in v...
