“…2), which is consistent with Zuo et al (2008). Soil moisture of the high-altitude (186.2 to 200.3 m; e.g., site F3) peripheral sandy areas was almost 10 % lower than that of the medium-altitude (185.8 to 190.7 m; e.g., site E3(U)) transitional zones, which in turn was about 18 % lower than that of the low-altitude (188.6 to 189.5 m; e.g., site C3) interdune lowlands.…”

“…1), is one of the four main sandy lands in northern China (Wu and Ci, 2001) and an important part of Inner Mongolia's grassland resources (Liu et al, 1996). However, the Horqin Sandy Land has undergone severe desertification in recent decades (He et al, 2008;Wang, et al, 2008); desertified land has reached 57.8 % of the Land's total area , primarily because inappropriate reclamation for agriculture (e.g., chisel plough tillage in fall) and overgrazing (Zuo et al, 2008) adversely altered the natural hydrologic conditions. As a result, most of the sandy grasslands have evolved into mobile, semi-mobile and/or semi-fixed dunes with severe, moderate or light desertification (Zhu and Chen, 1994;Guan et al, 2000).…”

“…Aliado aos anseios de melhoria da qualidade de vida da humanidade, o crescimento populacional impõe grande pressão de uso sobre os recursos naturais, o que tem levado ao desmatamento de novas áreas para incorporá-las ao processo produtivo; muitas vezes este avanço ocorre em solos de textura muito arenosa, como os Neossolos Quartzarênicos que, segundo Zuo et al (2008) são considerados ecologicamente frágeis por apresentarem baixa capacidade de retenção de água e nutrientes no solo para as plantas, além de elevada erodibilidade.…”

“…Os solos arenosos são considerados ecologicamente muito frágeis, e o uso agrícola destes deveria ser evitado (Zuo et al, 2008). Contudo, na região sudoeste de Goiás, a ocorrência de Neossolos Quartzarênicos é comum e a sua utilização agrícola tem trazido prejuízos relacionados a problemas ambientais.…”
