TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between plant species diversity and ground-water level in the lower reaches of the Tarim River, western China, by analyzing the field data from 40 monitoring wells across nine study sites and 18 vegetation survey plots during the period from 2000 to 2002.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution and abundance of desert plant communities were examined in the lower reaches of the Tarim River, southern Xinjiang, where 18 plant species were collected at 18 sites along a sequence of increasing ground-water depths in six transects.

TL;DR: In this article, data from 40 monitoring wells across 9 sections of the lower Tarim River from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed to investigate the relationship between the transmission loss per unit river length and the change in groundwater depth.

TL;DR: In this article, an eco-hydrological model that couples the dynamics of woody vegetation cover and deep soil moisture was used to investigate the effect of stochastic intensity and the intermittency of precipitation on soil moisture in this deep interval.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors measured the sensitivity of soil respiration to water and reflected to soil water availability, which is related significantly to soil physical properties, BSCs, and soil chemical properties, in decreasing importance.
