The construction of the dam at Three Gorges (Yangtze River) will create a water-fluctuation-zone in Three Gorges reservoir region of 600km length, ca.350km2 area and 30m fluctuation. How to stabilize the banks, control the soil erosion, and improve the eco-environmental quality of the water-fluctuation-zone is a major concern of Chinese authorities. To tackle these questions, one important option is to select appropriate plant species and apply them to revegetate the water-fluctuation-zone. To select the suitable plant species, the submergence tolerance and the mechanisms for differences between plant species will be studied in the project.
