摘要： Carex brunnescens (Pers.) Poir. is considered to be the only clonal herb found to date that can develop and form fixed dunes in Maqu alpine degraded grasslands of northwestern China. However, due to strong dormant characteristics of C. brunnescens seeds, the sand-fixing effect of the plant is severely limited. This study explores a technique that can rapidly promote the seed germination of C. brunnescens, and also investigates the adaptation and sand-fixing effect by cultivating C. brunnescens seedlings to establish living sand barriers in the sand ridges of moving sand dunes. Results show that the seed germination rate obtained a maximum of 63.7% or 65.1% when seeds were treated with 150 mg/L gibberellic acid (GA(3)) for 24 h followed by soaking in sulfuric acid (98% H2SO4) for 2.5 min or sodium hydroxide (10% NaOH) for 3.5 h, and then germinated (25 degrees C in daytime and 5 degrees C at nighttime) in darkness for 10 d. After breaking seed dormancy of C. brunnescens, the living sand barrier of C. brunnescens (plant spacing 15-20 cm; sand barrier spacing 10-20 m) was established in the perpendicular direction to the main wind in the middle and lower parts of the sand ridges on both sides of the moving sand dunes. When the sand ridges were leveled by wind erosion, the living sand barrier (plant spacing 15-20 cm; sand barrier spacing 0.5 -1.0 m) of C. brunnescens was reestablished on the wind-eroded flat ground. Finally, a stable sand-fixing surface can be formed after connecting the living sand barriers on both sides, thus achieving a good sand-fixing effect. These findings suggest that rapid seed germination technology combined with the sand-fixing method of C. brunnescens can shorten the seed germination period and make the seedling establishment become much easier which may be an effective strategy to restore and reconstruct Maqu degraded grasslands.
