Abstract: In order to grasp the status of Artemisia plant resources in Ordos City, a survey on different types of Artemisia plant resources was conducted in this region. A total of 32 species (4 variants) of Artemisia plants were observed in Ordos City which were divided into four categories, including mesophyte (n=14), halophyte or meso-halophyte (n=14), xerophyte or meso-xerophyte (n=2) and ultra- xerophyte (n=2). The observed Artemisia plants were dominantly distributed in the hilly and plain desert steppe subclass of temperate desert steppe and grassland subclass of sandy desert grassland. It is indicated that there are abundant Artemisia plant resources with wide distributive ranges and high adaptability in Ordos City.
