In recent years, the acidity and frequency of acid rain are higher and higher, and the type of acid rain is gradually changing from sulfuric acid type to sulfuric acid nitric acid mixed type and nitric acid type. In this study, the seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata, Pinus massoniana, Phyllostachys edulis and Cyclobalanopsis glauca were treated with sulfuric acid rain (SAR), mixed acid rain (MAR) and nitric acid rain (NAR) and their three acid rain concentrations (pH 2.5, pH 3.5 and pH 4.5) in a pot experiment for 4 months. Along with pH value of 5.7 of distilled water as the control group, we investigated the net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content of plants, tree plant height variation and plant rhizosphere soil pH and exchangeable base for ion determination of plant seedlings on sensitivity and resistance characteristics of simulated acid rain, and acid for acid rain disaster area vegetation construction to provide the reference data in the cultivation of tree species.The results showed that: (1) acid rain of different concentrations and types could inhibit the net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll synthesis of plants to a certain extent, that is, the higher the acid rain concentration, the lower the net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content of plants. (2) Low concentration of acid rain can promote the increase of plant height, but with the increase of concentration, the increase of plant height is severely inhibited, which is most obvious in P. massoniana and C. glauca. (3) Under low concentration acid rain stress, plant rhizosphere soil can effectively release base ions to neutralize acid ions, thus reducing acid rain toxicity. With the increase of acid rain concentration, the content of base ions decreases continuously, and the soil pH value decreases gradually. (4) The average membership values of C. lanceolata, P. massoniana, P. edulis and C. glauca showed different performances under different acid rain types. Comprehensively, C. lanceolata showed the strongest resistance to acid rain of sulfuric acid type and mixed acid type, while P. edulis could tolerate acid rain of nitric acid type and mixed acid type. C. glauca had the weakest resistance to acid rain compared with the other three species. The results showed that P. massoniana was the most sensitive to nitric acid rain, and the pH threshold was 2.5-3.5, but it showed significant resistance to sulfuric acid rain. C. lanceolata had stronger resistance to acid rain than the other three species. P. edulis had stronger resistance to nitric acid rain than the other two types, while C. glauca had stronger resistance to sulfuric acid rain than the other two types species, and the resistance was the weakest. The pH threshold of P. edulis, C. lanceolata and C. glauca under acid rain stress was 3.5-4.5.The comprehensive resistance of the four plants to acid rain was C. lanceolata > P. edulis > P. massoniana> C. glauca.
