Dataset of mineral contents of fine-sand and silt-sized soil particles from deserts in China and Mongolia

Abstract: There are over 70 types of mineral species in desert soils. Previous data have focused on major mineral contents and thus, the identification of minor mineral species is lacking. The diversity of minor mineral species was investigated in 19 surficial sediments from deserts in China and Mongolia. A modern scanning electron microscope (SEM)-based in-situ mineral mapping technique was used to determine the minor mineral species concentrations. For further analysis and interpretation, the identified species were g… Show more

“…It is distributed in the southern Junggar Basin, northern Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and Hexi Corridor in Gansu, China. The gypsum content of grey desert soil in the northern Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang is between 2 and 8% 2 . The total area of grey desert soil in Xinjiang is 1.7895 × 10 6 ha, of which cultivated land accounts for 5.75 × 10 5 ha; the area of effective cultivated land accounts for 32%, and the salt content is between 0.5 and 2%.…”
