Objective The aim was to reveal relationship between lithological character soil and productivity of Cunninghamia lanceolata and lay a foundation for systemic management of C. lanceolata fast-growing and high yield plantation. Method By using experimental ecology method and variance analysis, the biomass and growth of planting eleven years＇ C. lanceolata on the soils with six different lithologicel characters were studied. Result The effects of soils with six different lithological characters on the height, diameter growth and biomass of C. lanceolata were different, in which the growth order of C. lanceolata was： Feldspathic quartzy sandstone （ average height 523. 270 cm, average diameter 4.720 cm, average individual biomass 5.059kg） 〉 Basalt （ average height 511. 570 cm, average diameter 4.650 cm, average individual biomass 4.848 kg） 〉 Quartzy sandstone 〉 Blastopsammite 〉 The Quarternary Period red clay 〉 Coal-series siliceous sand-shale, and the difference was smaller between the last two lithological characters. Conclusion Feldspathic quartzy sandstone and Basalt are beneficial to C. lanceolata.
