Abstract: The role of Hippophae rhamnoides as the undergrowth in mixed forests was studied. The results show that H. rhamnoide has a significant effect of N supply, and its annual average N fixing amount is 54 kg· hm-2 in 7 years old stand, Comparing with pure Populus sp. And Salix matsuda na stands, nitrogen content in soil of mixed stand is increased by 20~22%, and height increment of main trees by 18~19.4%.

Key words: Nitrogen-fixing tree, Mixed forest, Hippophae rhamnoides, nitrification-denitrification, nitrous oxide (N2O), restoration wetland, exogenous nitrogen, Yellow River estuary.
