Abstract: The sand-fixing amount and NPP were evaluated in the Three-River headwaters region in 2015 based on RWEQ model and improved CASA model respectively, and the relationship between them explored using the grid. The results showed that the potential wind erosion and actual wind erosion degree in this area were high in the west and low in the east as a whole, and the sand-fixing amount was high in the middle and low in the west and the east. The average sand fixation amount was 29.51 kg/m2, and the soil wind erosion was at the middle level. Contrary to the soil wind erosion, the spatial distribution characteristic of NPP was high in the east and low in the west. There was a linear relationship between the amount of potential wind erosion and NPP(R2=0.47), while the actual wind erosion and NPP showed a significant exponential relationship (R2=0.91). In addition, with the increase of NPP, the sand-fixing capacity firstly increased and then decreased. At the maximum of sand-fixing capacity, NPP was about 300 gC/m2.

Key words: RWEQ, sand fixation, NPP, correlation analysis, the Three-River headwaters region
