摘　　要：Through studying biological and ecological characteristics of Tamarix L., we found wide adaptability to different ecological environment and high endurance of adversity. When planted in the edge of desert and periphery of oasis, Tamarix will act as excellent sand-fixing shrubs, improve ecological environment and play a positive role. However, introducing Tamarix unreasonably will deteriorate the ecological environment and reduce biodiversity and play a nega- tive role. Grasping the biological and ecological characteristics of Tamarix will do much to benefit further developing and utilizing of the resources.Through studying biological and ecological characteristics of Tarnarix L., we foundwide adaptability to different ecological environment and high endurance of adversity.
