Abstract The research results on the vegetation restoration are reviewed,and ecological strategies and approaches for vegetation restoration are probed into in the hilly area of Taihang Mountain.According to the basic characteristics of the modern ecotone and vegetation restoration in the study areas,6 ecological strategies on the vegetation restoration and reconstruction are put forward.The approaches of vegetation restoration are discussed from the point view of applying the closed method to make full use of the resilience of natural vegetation,human being-accelerated methods to speed up the restoration process of natural vegetation and reconstructing a completely new type of eco-economic communities by selecting the perennial plant species such as the native species and naturalized species with higher eco-economic values.Some problems of the vegetation degradation,restoration and reconstruction should be settled in the future study,such as the ecological effects of spatial heterogeneity of the small scale to the vegetation restoration;constructing the eco-economic community to form the ecological buffering zone at the ecotone between the fertile farmland and natural vegetation;identifying the relationship between plant reproductive strategies of the natural vegetation and disturbance;and taking the natural communities locating at the flat between the cliffs as the reference model of vegetation restoration characterized by little disturbance from human beings in the hilly area of Taihang Mountain.
