Aeolian processes produce vast areas of sand and dunes in the arid region and need monitoring since they are encroaching land and degrading infrastructures. In this study, we used the satellite data of ASTER and mineral indices namely quartz index (QI) and carbonate index (CI), and identified and discriminated the sand deposits, dunes, and associated rock formations that occurred in and around the QAFCO site 5/6, Qatar. The mapping of the area using high spatial resolution WorldView-2 satellite data confirmed the presence of sand deposits, dunes, and sand encroachments in the site. Our field studies validated the satellite data results. The grain size analyses of samples showed that the deposits have predominantly sand grains (81.3 to 99.81 %). The XRD analyses of samples identified the presence of quartz, calcite, dolomite, albite, and halite minerals. These are confirmed by geochemical analyses, which showed the high concentration of SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, Na2O, CO3, SO4, Cl, and B. In addition, the study of sand stabilization by bacteria method to stop the erosion at selected places of the site showed the applicability of the technique. All results allowed us to assess the implications of the deposits and encroachments at the industry site.

The Relationship

Sand-stabilization may exert enormous effects on plant abundance in interdune lowlands in the active sand dune fields. We investigated the plant abundance of 11 interdune lowlands in stabilized and active dunes, respectively, and analyzed the relationship of plant abundance and lowland area. 1) With the enlargement of lowland area, plant abundance of interdune lowlands in stabilized and active dune increased following logarithmic and power functions, respectively. When the area was the same, abundance of stabilized dunes was more than that of active dunes. 2) With the increasing of lowland area in stabilized and active dunes, psammophytes plant abundance relative to the overall plant abundance decreased exponentially. When the area was the same, the percentage in lowlands of active dunes was more than that of stabilized dunes. We concluded that the practice of sand-stabilization could improve plant abundance in interdune lowlands, however, which is at the cost of loss of psammophytes.
