Abstract: The natural conditions of the margin regions of the Junggar Basin, Xinjiang is poor, with meager precipitation, a large number of evaporation, drought and frequent wind, most soils have poor fertility and remarkable saline-alkalization. As the national condition in each region is more or less different with others in the investigation areas, especially the variation of soil textures, soil salts and soil nutrients between the different regions, there is the difference of succession and rejuvenescence among vegetation covers. The vegetation cover is low with single plant community composition, high dominance and low diversity in land section of lean soil and serious saline-alkalization. Then, in land section of better soil texture and fertility vegetation cover is relative high with plant community composition of a certain extent of diversity. Under the condition of water resource being short, which is crucial stress factor to affect eco-environmental stability, the vegetation in the regions is difficult to form stable plant community. So, most plant communities are in the process of succession and eco-environment is very fragile. If implementing the development of water and soil resources and the construction of great engineering on this background of eco-environment, some measures must be taken to prevent ecological hazards.

Key words: the margin regions of the Junggar Basin, eco-environment
