In China,forest coverage has been enhanced by a big margin and ecological environment has been obviously improved.Thus the vegetation restoration in sites the most difficult to be afforested in a coal pile wasteland becomes the main tasks for foresters.In order to screen out the species and reclamation measures adaptive to coal pile wasteland,The survival rate of different plants,the effects of vegetation and different reclamation measures on soil chemical properties,the effects of different reclamation measures on DBH and tree height net growth of per year were studied in Fushun city,Liaoning province.The results showed that(1) The survival rate of different plant was from 21% to 85%.The survival rate of Ulmus pumila and Astragalus adsurgens was 81% and 85% respectively and that of Populus simionii,Robinia pseudoacacia and Rekoelreuteria panaiculata was about 70%.(2) Vegetation can improve the contents of organic matter,total N,P_2O_5 in different soil depths,but the degree of improvement changed with soil depths,nutrient varieties and reclamation time.(3) At the same soil depth,Biological compound fertilizers,biopreparate,absorbent polymers can improve the contents of organic matter and decrease that of P_2O_5;Only absorbent polymers can result in the increase of soil total kalium contents;(4) Biological compound fertilizers,biopreparate,absorbent polymer can increase the DBH and height net growth of per year,but effect degree of absorbent polymer is the highest.
