Overview

Orthogonal design shows that a composite substrate improves soil water and slope stability for Alhagi sparsifolia in arid regions, suggesting better vegetation establishment.

Key Points

This research aims to optimize a composite sandy substrate for better vegetation establishment in arid regions.
Utilized an orthogonal experimental design to assess the effects of CMC, SF, and FA on sandy substrate.
Measured soil water, nutrient retention, aggregate structure, and shear strength of root-soil composites.
Evaluated plant trait responses and environmental regulation for Alhagi sparsifolia.
Composite substrate with 0.5% CMC, 1.0% SF, and 5.0% FA enhanced vertical root systems in Alhagi sparsifolia.
Promoted lateral root development while maintaining slope stability.
Adopted growth strategies balanced resource acquisition with environmental constraints.
