Abstract  In the natural condition, the responses of seedling growth of Haloxylon ammodendron to melting snow change are investigated by artificially controlling water supply at five levels of 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm.Results show that the quota of water supply significantly affects seedling height, root length, seedling dry weight, root dry weight and stem base diameter. At some stages of the growing season, the responses of increments of seedling height, root length, seedling dry weight, and root dry weight and stem base diameter to water supply are significant, and the response of root/shoot ratio is also significant. It is more benefit to survival and growth of H. ammodendron with water supply of 10~80 mm. Throughout the growing season, the length of vertical root of H. ammodendron is 3~5 times the height of shoot, and the growth speed of the vertical root is 2~6 times the growth speed of shoot. The rapid growth of root is decisive to survival and growth of seedlings of H. ammodendron.
