- Abstract
The article presents a study that examines the impact of different water table levels on desert riparian forest vegetation. The study uses data from middle and lower reaches of Tarim River, to analyze relationship between vegetation and environmental factors and influence of groundwater level for species diversity. Result shows high species diversity at 2-4 meter levels, in which drop in water level also reduces diversity. It concludes that proper water level for vegetation is from 2-4 meters.
