This study deals with the vegetation change in Kuwait from 1974 compared to recent vegetation map and their capabilities on trapping mobile sand, dust and carbon dioxides (Co2). The average cost of one cubic meter removal of encroached sand around infrastructures in Kuwait is 1.32 USD. The capability of trapping sand is much higher for Haloxylon sp. than Stipagrostis sp. by 100%. The areas that were covered by Haloxylon in 1974 lose recently 4385 km2 for the benefits of Stipagrostis causing the formation of a new mobile sand corridor. The total estimated annual cost for the vegetation change is 35,429,379 USD obtained from the costs of sand encroachment, CO2 consumption loss and solar energy efficiency loss. Rehabilitation for areas that were occupied with large size canopy vegetation will surely cause a decrease in the aeolian activities and air temperature, lower the albedo and increase the precipitation and solar energy production.

科威特本地植被变化对风沙,灰尘,微气候和可持续能源的代价和影响

与最近的植被图相比,该研究处理了1974年以来科威特的植被变化及其捕获流动的沙,尘埃和二氧化碳(Co 2)的能力。在科威特,清除周围基础设施周围被侵蚀的沙子的一立方米的平均成本为1.32美元。Haloxylon sp。的捕砂能力要高得多Stipagrostis sp。100%。由于Stipagrostis的好处,1974年Haloxylon覆盖的地区最近损失了4385 km 2,从而形成了一个新的流动砂廊。每年因植被覆盖和CO 2侵蚀所产生的植被变化总费用估计为35,429,379美元。消耗损失和太阳能效率损失。对冠层植被面积较大的地区进行的修复必将导致风沙活动和气温下降,降低反照率并增加降水量和太阳能产量。
