英文摘要Biological soil crusts are a universal and common feature in arid and semi-arid regions and their appearance profoundly affects soil surface properties which may greatly change the seed dispersal, germination and establishment. To date, only a handful of experiments have exerted to investigate the effects of crusts on vascular plants and the conclusions from these studies are variable. In this study, we investigate the influences of two different crusts universally spreading in southeastern part of the Tengger Desert with four chronosequences (24, 41, 50 years old in artificial vegetation area and natural vegetation crusts) on vascular plants. Crusts were placed at three different sites to simulate different environmental factors (wind velocity and soil crust moisture), we set two soil moisture regimes for crusts to investigate how vascular plants respond under different moisture regimes in crusts. Emergence densities of vascular plants were significantly higher in moss crust than in algae crust. With the development of crusts, seed emergence increased in moss crust while decreased in algae crust. As for effects of moisture, our results showed that soil moisture had a significant effect on seed emergence in both types of crusts at all developing phases. Crusts with higher moisture had more seedlings than those with lower moisture. The above results indicated that the appearance of crusts changed the surface soil properties, which had greatly influenced the entrapment and lodgement of seeds in the study area, thus subsequently influence seed emergence through affecting natural factors.
