Effect of short-term fencing on Seriphidium transiliense desert community characteristics

We studied the response of desert community characteristics to fencing in different climatic zones, which was aimed at providing certain basic information and scientific basis for the rational utilization of grassland resources. Seriphidium transiliense deserts in Xinyuan and Hutubi counties were selected as the research areas, and the eco-economic group, community characteristics, and its diversity were analyzed using a field-survey sampling method. The results showed that: 1) The height, cover, density, and biomass of the grassland community increased significantly, which was significantly higher than those outside the fence; 2) Under the fence, Pielou’s evenness index of grassland communities increased, while the fragrant index and Patrick index decreased, and the desert vegetation comprising S. transiliense recovered remarkably.
