“…The special hydrological and physical characteristics of BSC improved and promoted the soil microhabitats in desert areas and increased water holding capacity. The higher unsaturated hydraulic conductivity under low soil matric potential conditions could improve soil water availability in the shallow layers, which would improve the survival rates of some shallow rooted shrubs and herbs and small soil animals in the sand-binding vegetation communities [20,[30][31][32]. It may even lead to an increase in population size.…”

“…As species composition and diversity are fundamental characteristics of ecosystems (Chapin et al 1992, Hooper & Vitousek 1997, Burk 2001, variations in diversity are presumably correlated with the stability of various biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems (Leigh Jr. 1965). Among different factors, availability of water is the primary one controlling the distribution of species (Noy-Meir 1973, Li et al 2004. Water availability in such desert regions with rare occasional rainfall, is dependent to a high degree on water holding capacity, which in turn is highly related to some soil physical characteristics of texture coarseness.…”
