Abstract: Sandy shrubs have a unique appearance and developed root systems, with characteristics such as tolerance to poor soil fertility, drought resistance, and cold resistance. They play a good ecological role in soil improvement, windbreak and sand fixation, and can be developed and utilized in a wide range of fields. They have ecological value, landscape value, and economic value, and are an important component of arid and semi-arid ecosystems. Inner Mongolia is rich in sandy shrubs resources, with various Chinese endemic sandy shrubs.In recent years, according to the concept of sustainable development, the development and utilization of sandy shrubs has been continuously deepened. This article briefly introduced the distribution, types, and application value of sandy shrubs in Inner Mongolia, and summarized the development and utilization of sandy shrubs in multiple fields such as wood, paper, feed, medicine, and bioenergy. It provided a basis and ideas for further strengthening the development and utilization of sandy shrubs resources in the future. It should expand the application fields of sandy shrubs through scientific planning, improving development and utilization methods, so as to promote sustainable utilization of sandy shrubs, and realize the coordinated development of ecological protection and economic benefits.

Key words: sandy shrubs, application value, development and utilization status
