Salinity Tolerance and Major Planting Techniques ofTamarix Chinensis

摘要

Tamarix Chinensis is one of main salt tolerant species naturallygrown in saline seashore areas. In order to approach its salinity tolerance andplanting techniques in this region, salt-tolerance of seeds, seedlings andcuttings were tested, meanwhile 8 site-preparation types for direct seeding aswell as different planting methods in various seasons also were studied.Through the experiments it was concluded that Tamarix chinensis couldtolerant a certain degree of salinity in all growing stages, while for its plantingtechniques, choosing optimum establishing season and applying the optimumtype of site-preparation was crucial. The results of field tests were shown thatplanting in raining season could help seedling survive and grow well, and thetypes of ditch-shape or big hole shape of site-preparation were recommendedto employ, especially when the sites were in adverse conditions.
