The technology for self-maintaining vegetation restoration is based on the restoration or reconstruction of soil habitat system, vegetation community system and substance cycle system for destroyed surfaces. The technology is used widely to rehabilitate damaged vegetation of highway and railway slopes, mines in the northern freezing-thawing, semi-arid and southern humid regions. After the applications of the technology in various regions, the vegetation community becomes higher compatibility with the surrounding native vegetation, and vegetation coverage of demonstration projects could reach more than that of native vegetation. A self-maintaining vegetation system can be derived from the damaged vegetation without artificial aftercare.
