In the arid valley of the Zagunao River, five plantation plots of Cupressus chengiana with different years were chosen, and the growth of C. chengiana young trees (including tree height, basal diameter, crown diameter, and growth of height) , plant community characteristics (vegetation coverage and species composition) and soil properties (soil pH, water content, soil nutrient content) were examined to assess the ecological effects of plantation using native tree species.
