Abstract:The drought resistance of several silvicultural species have been determined and analysed in the aspects of growth, physiology and anatomy, passed a judgment on their drought resistance by using complex indexes. The results indicate that Arborvitae and Chinese pine are the best drought resistance among the tree species, Mongolian Oak and parple blow maple are the second one, Black locust is poor in comparison with other tree species. In shrub species, common smoketree, common seabuckthorn and little leaf peashrub are relatively drought-resistant, while shrubby labseindigo is rather poor resistant to drought.
