Taklimakan Desert is one of the famous wilderness in Asia, located at Xinjiang, China. Having the level of broadness up to 337,600 kilometers, Taklimakan becomes the second largest desert in the world after the Sahara Desert in Africa. The majority of Taklimakan Desert's contour consists of sand dunes up to 250 meters high that are mostly consisted of plants.
Three Taklimakan plants namely Populus euphratica, Tamarix ramosissima, and Alhagi sparsifolia have a specific character because they are fertile in the desert. Besides, each plant possesses various of kinds self-mechanism to survive. For instance, Populus euphratica manages distillation process by opening and closing stomata on the foliage surface in reaction to a couple of moisture being lost pass through the leaves to the covering air.
Meanwhile, Tamarix ramosissima, the tiny cedar, popular as a salt tree, delivers the very huge volume of water through a remote root system many times the dimension of the plant above land. Tamarisk is able to dictate unconsciously when closing stomata to occupy evaporation and oversee photosynthesis.
Alhagi Sparifolia, a spiny thicket, grow up in the Taklimakan Desert although it utilizes great amounts of water. Differs from Tamarix ramosissima and Populus euphratica which overt and lock stomata depends on conditions on the foliage surface, Alhagi Sparifolia does so follow the hydraulic conductance.
