In order to examine how nematodes respond to sand dune succession after stabilisation and reclamation techniques, nematode communities were investigated in sand dunes stabilised for 0, 16, 26, 43, and 51 years in the Tengger Desert, China. Our results revealed that the abundance of nematodes; the proportion of fungivores, omnivores, and predators; maturity index (MI); Shannon index; evenness; and structure index (SI) were affected significantly by the age of stabilised sand dunes, and were correlated with soil physical and chemical properties to different degrees. There were differences in nematode abundance, the proportion of fungivores, Shannon index, and evenness between the shifting dunes and the stabilised dunes, but not within the different succession stages of the stabilised dunes. MI showed a tendency to increase with dune age and SI increased significantly with dune age. MI, and especially SI, could act as robust indicators of stabilised sand dune succession. Redundancy analysis using data on nematode community composition showed that shifting sand dunes were clearly separated from stabilised sand dunes, and younger sand dunes stabilised for 16 and 26 years were also separated from older dunes stabilised for 43 and 51 years to a lesser degree. The results indicated that changes in nematode communities could predict initial sand dune stabilisation due to the planting of artificial vegetation, and clearly differentiate sand dune succession accompanied by vegetation succession and variation of soil properties.

AbstractClimatic changes inferred from lacustrine deposits and lake-level fluctuations in northwestern and central China are mainly based on paleoclimatic records from the Tibetan Plateau, while there is still a lack of data relating to the semiarid/arid desert regions of Inner Mongolia. In the Tengger Desert, different paleolake levels at Baijian Hu are documented by six paleoshorelines and stratified lake carbonates. The highest lake level occurred ca. 39,000 14C yr B.P. and prevailed over about 16,000 km2. From sediment structure, geochemical composition, and ostracods we infer humid/cool conditions until 23,000 14C yr B.P. In the northern Badanjilin Desert at Gaxan Nur/Sogu Nur, high lake levels can be deduced from mollusc-bearing paleobeaches and lake carbonates, which have been dated to 34,000 14C yr B.P. and indicate a lake that covered some 32,000 km2. After ca. 20,000 yr B.P. the climate became dry with increased eolian activity and decreasing lake levels. Reestablishment of wet conditions occurred ca. 13,000 yr B.P. The Holocene is represented by stratified lake deposits that alternate with fluvial and eolian deposits, indicating a longterm oscillating trend toward arid conditions. The existence of widespread freshwater lakes during the late Pleistocene indicates a semihumid climate without an accompanying fall in temperature to arctic conditions.
