摘要： The context of global climate change, water stress has a significant impact on the ecological function and landscape value of urban greening shrubs. In this study, three typical greening shrubs (Euonymus japonicus, Ligustrum x vicaryi, and Berberis thunbergii var. atropurpurea) in North China were subjected to a two-year field-controlled experiment (2022-2023) with four water treatments: full irrigation, deficit irrigation, natural rainfall, and extreme drought. The key findings are as follows: (1) Extreme drought reduced the color indices substantially-the G(CC) of E. japonicus decreased by 40% (2023); the R-CC of B. thunbergii var. atropurpurea declined by 35% (2022); and the color indices of L. x vicaryi remained stable (variation < 15%). (2) Early-season soil water content (SWC) strongly correlated with the color index of E. japonicus (r(2) = 0.42, p < 0.05) but weakly with B. thunbergii (r(2) = 0.28), suggesting species-specific drought-tolerance mechanisms like reduced leaf area. (3) Deficit irrigation (SWC approximate to 40%) maintained color indices between fully irrigated and drought-stressed levels. Notably, B. thunbergii retained high redness (R-CC > 0.8) at an SWC approximate to 40%; E. japonicus required an SWC > 60% to preserve greenness (G(CC)). The research results provide a scientific basis for urban greening plant screening and water-saving irrigation strategies, and expand the application scenarios of color coordinates in plant physiological and ecological research.
