Abstract:

Chinese sea buckthorn is an important tree species for the restoration and reconstruction of degraded ecosystems around China’s arid zones. In order to provide references for introducing Chinese sea buckthorn from the north to the south of China, by breeding introduction and setting two trial sites and burial depth, the survival rate and influence mechanism were analyzed by fixed effect model testing. Topographic factors and burial depth produced effects on survival rate by reconfiguring of different environmental factors. The survival rate of shallowly buried seedlings was larger than that of deeply buried ones. Although the survival rate decreased from more than 60% at the early growth season to 14%-25% at the end of growing season, there were some plant individuals of Chinese sea buckthorn survived.
