Desert vegetation was sparsely distributed and species diversity was low in the Ejina Delta due to the harsh
environment. Twenty-nine plant species were recorded in 31 plots. Among them, woody plants are very limited. In 31 plots, the tree layer only appeared in eight plots, and the shrub layer appears in 19 plots, whereas the herb layer
appeared in all plots. P. euphratica and E. angustifolia are the only two tree species in this region.
