geology

In Gaochang District, there are low mountains and slope plains in the north, flame mountains and salt mountains in the center, and slope plains or low-lying saline alkali lands in the south. The Permian, Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata are found in Zhougu mountain system in the urban area. [10]

topographic features

Turpan Basin is the lowest inland basin in China. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, a long strip of deep depression is formed in the surrounding mountains. Gaochang District is located in the middle of the basin, with Tianshan Mountain in the north, Jueluotage Mountain and Kuruktag Mountain in the south, and the middle Flaming Mountain The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, concave in the middle and the lowest Lake Edin Zone, 155m below sea level. Flaming Mountain divides Gaochang District into two parts horizontally from east to west. [1]

climate

Gaochang District is the most typical continental arid climate. Because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the terrain is low-lying, the airflow is blocked by high mountains, and the circulation flow is slow, so it is difficult to form clouds and rain, so the air is dry, cool in the morning and evening, and hot in the afternoon, and the temperature difference is wide. Due to different terrain, the climate is different from cool to hot. The northern mountain area has a cool climate and abundant rainfall. There are only two seasons of cold and warm in the whole year. The central part is hot and dry, with little rain and sufficient sunshine. The southern part is more desert, dry and less rain, and more hot. The surface temperature is generally between 75 ℃ and 80 ℃. [1]

soil

In Gaochang District, the influence of mountainous terrain and hydrothermal conditions in the north forms the vertical zoning of soil and vegetation. The soil type in the center of the basin is simple. Brown desert soil and residual saline soil are the most widely distributed soils in the basin. The horizontal differentiation rule is from north to south: brown desert soil, meadow soil, salinized meadow soil and saline soil. To the south, it is still brown desert soil, mainly distributed in the front of wind and sand. The land is compact, but it leaks water and fertilizer. The soil fertility is very low, and the production performance is extremely unstable. To a large extent, it is dominated by wind. [1]

vegetation

In Gaochang District, the vegetation is also vertically distributed. Alpine ice and snow belt is distributed in high mountain areas above 3500 meters above sea level. The alpine meadow vegetation belt is distributed in the alpine belt with an altitude of 3000-3500 meters. The main plants are Artemisia, Carex, and Alpine Thalictrum. Subalpine meadow forest vegetation belt. The subalpine meadow is distributed on the sunny slope of the mountain with an altitude of 2800-3000 meters, while the shady slope is distributed in a sheet shape with forest vegetation dominated by spruce.
The mountain grassland vegetation belt is distributed in the middle mountain belt with an altitude of 2500~2800 meters. The vegetation is mainly xerophytic tufted grass, and the main plants are wheatgrass, stipa, fallen grass, leafy onion, mountain onion, etc. The vegetation of mountain desert plain is distributed in the middle and low mountain areas with an altitude of 2100~2500 meters, and the main plants are Stipa psammophila and various artemisia.
The mountain desert vegetation belt is distributed in the low mountain belt at the base of the mountain with an altitude of 1700~2100 meters. The plants are mainly xerophytic shrubs and semi shrubs, mainly including chenopodium album, pseudoequisetum brevifolium, and overlord. Most of the desert vegetation belt is bare land, and only some gullies can see sparse ephedra, overlord, scattered crow onion and other plants. The lowland meadow vegetation is a hidden vegetation type, which is distributed in the plain lowland between the outer edge of the agricultural area and the Aiding Lake. The vegetation is the sparse leaf camel thorn community. [1]
