Abstract  C4 plants of Alxa desert are principally manifested by Chenopodiaceae, Gramineae, and the life forms are most biennial and annual grasses, accounting for more than 70%; xerophytic and mesophytic C4 plants make up 48.89%, and whose floristic area-types are mainly from Cosmopolitan, Asia media and Tethys. Distribution of C4 plants presents different laws in Alxa region: distribution of C4 plants positively relates to temperature and negatively relates to precipitation along altitudinal zonality; it positively relates to precipitation and less relates to temperature along horizontal zone, especially, presence of C4 plants are limited in extremely high temperature and arid conditions (mainly in gobi desert area of Ejin Banner). The results can some explain the status of the water utilization efficiency of C4 plants in Alxa and its relationship with spatial precipitation distribution.
Key words:  Photosysnthetic pathway      Water use efficiency(WUE)      life form      Ecotype
