In this study, selected litter leaves of several typical desert plants as study materials, and deferent element contents of the litter leaves were analyzed. The main results are as belows: (1) There were significant differences in the levels of C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg and K between litter leaves of different desert plants (p 0.01). (2) Significant differences were found in the nutrition re-utilization rate of the withered leaves of different plants, with P K N. Haloxylon ammodendron has the highest N utilization rate of 88.33%. Calligonum mongolicum has the lowest P utilization rate of 95.13%. Elaeagnus angustifolia has the highest K utilization rate of 7
