The invention discloses a method for constructing artificial algal crusts by utilizing mixed 
algae. The method comprises the following steps of: selecting sufficiently developed algal crusts on the desert, collecting the algal crusts, and 
grinding the algal crusts after air-
drying the algal crusts; sieving bare sand with a 0.2mm 
sieve, then adding 1 
liter of BG11 
liquid culture medium to 100g of bare sand, and collecting the 
algae together with the grains of sand fixed on the 
algae three weeks later, wherein the inoculum size is 50g 
dry soil per 
liter of culture medium, the culture temperature is the 
room temperature, the illumination intensity is 4000
lux, and in the cultured mixed algae, the dominant species are filamentous algae which are mainly microcoleus, lyngbya and phormidium and account for 80% of the total 
biomass, and species such as 
oscillatoria, 
chlorococcum humicola, 
chlorella, 
chlamydomonas, Navicula, hantzschia and the like account for 20% of the total 
biomass; grindingthe collected algae into alga 
powder after air-
drying the collected algae, and putting the alga 
powder in a refrigerator at minus 20 DEG C; and carrying out 
inoculation on the bare sand when the soiltemperature is 20 DEG C, wherein the inoculum size is 80g.m<-2>, and the 
moisture applied daily is 3L.m<-2>. The method successfully avoids the problems of purification and separation of the algae, and has wide applicability.
