Abstract

The morphometry of bushes plays an important role in the obstruction of sand, and thereby influences the size of the dunes formed around the bushes. Capparis decidua was found to be the best species for shelter belts to check the movement of sand. Dune stabilisation is initiated by physical forces and the process is promoted by biotic forces. Clay particles and organic carbon, coupled with iron and other trace elements, bring stability to the sand dunes in the Thar Desert. Vegetation cover is essential for further stabilisation.
