“…The detection of seawater at depth normally relies on different electric methods as it is usually easily identified given the low resistivity of saltwater-saturated rocks (Gondwe, 1991;Kafri et al, 1997;Chen, 1999;Hopkins and Richardson, 1999;Choudhury et al, 2001;Guérin et al, 2001;Balia et al, 2003;Goldman et al, 2003;Wilson et al, 2005). Porosity is a parameter that must be taken into account due to the controlling role it can play in seawater saturation of a porous material.…”

“…In general, the soil electro-conductive ratio showed a positive relation to the soil salt content. Therefore, the soil electro-conductive ratio is used directly in representing the degree of soil saline-alkalinity (Tam and Wong, 1998;Hopkins and Richardson, 1999;Ramsis et al, 1999;Heydari et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2003). We have shown the feasibility of the soil electro-conductive ratio in the representation of the soil salt content.…”

The spatial distribution characteristics of plant communities in a wetland-dry grassland ecosystem in arid and semi-arid regions in northwestern China and the main factors affecting the distribution pattern were studied. The Siertan wetland in the Haba Lake Nature Reserve was the study area. Four transect lines, each about 1 km long, were set up in the growing season along the biotope gradient in four directions: east, northeast, west and northwest. Attributes measured include frequency of occurrence, height, density, coverage, biomass and environmental soil factors. The data were analyzed using a two-way indicative species analysis (TWINSPAN), detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and Spearman correlation coefficients. On this basis, the vegetation in the Siertan wetland was classified into three types and 14 associations. The first vegetation type was halophytic marsh vegetation, mainly distributed in the wetland zone. This type largely contains halophyte and hygric plants and its representative association is Phragmites communis + Kalidium foliatum. The second type was meadow vegetation, distributed in the ecotone. The meadow vegetation species are mainly mesophytic and their representative association is Nitraria tangutorum + Pennisetum flaccidum. The third vegetation type is grassland vegetation, which mainly consists of mesophytic and xerophytes, distributed in the arid grassland zone. The representative association of the third vegetation type is the association of Anaeurolepidium secalium + Saussurea runcinata. Correlation analysis between the axes of DCA and environmental soil factors shows that soil moisture content, organic matter, soil salt content and total nitrogen are the main environmental factors affecting the pattern of vegetation distribution along the biotope gradients from wetland to arid grassland. Other factors affecting the vegetation are microtopography and grazing pressure. Additionally, we have reported modifications and improvements to the importance value methodology.
