The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of different vegetative restoration settings on mining wasteland.Vegetation species

quantity

coverage

species diversity and biomass were surveyed by standard plots on different treatments deployed on the mining wasteland of Zijinshan gold-copper mine in Fujian Province.The results showed that the number of vegetation species was rapidly increased at almost all the treatments

and the species number of the herb layer were significantly greater than the control after 5 year restoration.Species quantity at Pinus massoniana +Lespedeza bicolor+ Vetiveria zizanioides+ local flood turf(mode B) was the most.There was 25 species of those.Diversity index at Liquidambar formosana + local beach turf(mode D) and Eucalyptus robusta + local flood turf(mode E) were bigger than others

these two vegetation allocation modes could rapidly increased the species diversity of the community.The vegetation coverage also increased greatly.There were above 85% apart from Pinus massoniana+Lespedeza bicolor(mode A).The biomass of herb layer at Pinus massoniana +Lespedeza bicolor+ Vetiveria zizanioides+ local beach turf(mode B) was the largest

it was 15.81 times to the control.The treatments of Pinus massoniana+Lespedeza bicolor+Vetiveria zizanioides+local beach turf(B)

Liquidambar formosana+local beach turf(D) and Eucalyptus+local beach turf(E) performed considerably better than the other ones and therefore can be promoted for larger areas in the vegetation restoration of the mining wasteland.
