In order to select appropriate water collecting and soil moisture conserving measures for Cotinus coggygria Scop.young plantation in gneiss mountainous area of Pingshan county,Hebei province,the comparison of 10 treatments and 1 control teatment is made with the design of completely randomized blocks.The soil water content,net photosynthetic rate,chlorophyll content,ground diameter,height,volume and shoot length were used to indicate the effect of different measures on Cotinus coggygria Scop.The result showed that:(1)soil moisture could be at most improved by water collecting and soil conservation measures for 66.76% in a rainfall cycle;(2)the net photosynthetic rate of the trees increased by 16.54% to 56.48%;(3)the growth of trees such as ground diameter and shoot length could be enhaced through the above CK by 80.28% to 102.82% and 17.52% to 76.96%,and the treatment F+B+S(spraying nanomaterial leakproof + soil absorbent polymers + stone mulching)enhaced the volume by 578.04%;(4)considering the factors above,F+B+J,F+J(spraying nanomaterial leakproof +straw mulching),F+S(spraying nanomaterial leakproof+ stone mulching)and Z+J(natural slope +straw mulching)were recommend as the available measures for Cotinus coggygria Scop.in gneiss mountainous area.
