Abstract Root distribution and biomass of planted Salix cheilophila were measured based on different plantation ages (6, 11, 16 years and 21 years) in High-Cold sand land. Soil organic matters in the soil profile were also measured. Variance analysis, multi-comparison, regression analysis was used to analyze experimental results. The result indicated that: (1) The root system of Salix cheilophila on different plantation ages is mainly make up of fine roots and middle roots. Fine roots (diameter<2.0 mm) take more than 50% of the total amount. (2) The root system of Salix cheilophila mainly exists in soil depth of 0~50 cm and the weight of roots decreased below 30 cm with the soil depth. The root systems of 6-year old trees were distributed in 0~130 cm and the vertical distribution of 21-year old trees could reached 200 cm, respectively. Root biomass increased significantly with the lasting of recovery time. (3) The root system showed main roots with the extension of restoration time, Salix cheilophila of different stand ages have typical vertical root system and the taproots expanded vertically and developed obviously. (4) Regression results showed that the weight of the root has significantly effect on the soil organic matters which provide the basis to evaluated the soil improvement after the establishment of artificial Salix cheilophila plantation in the vegetation restoration area.
