Abstract

Abstract:

Quantitatively determining the provenance of dune sand is one of the problems necessarily and urgently to be solved in geomorphic and desertification research. Based on the granulometric data of sand materials from the Hulun Buir Sandy Land, the stepwise discriminant analysis (SDA) technique for two groups is employed to select the principal factors determining the differences between surface loose sediments. The extent of similarity between two statistical populations can be described quantitatively by three factors such as the number of principal variables, Mahalanobis distance D2 and confidence level ?琢 for F-test. Results reveal that: 1) aeolian dune sand in the region is mainly derived from Hailar Formation (Q3), while fluvial and palaeosol sand also supply partially source sand for dunes; and 2) in the broad valley in the vicinity of Cuogang Town and west of it, the lower reaches of Hailar River, fluvial sand can naturally become principal supplier for dune sand.

Key words: Hulun Buir Sandy Land, granulometric analysis, stepwise discriminant analysis (SDA), dune sand, Hailar Formation, fluvial sand sediments
