Abstract: The early restoration of vegetation and soil on the felling-fields of Fagus engeriana forest at Tai-Yang-Ping in Shengnongjia mountain areas were investigated. The species diversity, ecological dominance, life-forms and optimal habitat, as well as community similarities were comparatively analyzed. The results suggested that the vegetation and soil in all kinds of felling-field of different age and different habitat were restoring rapidly and stably, but there existed a spatial and temporal heterogeneity in species composition, vegetation structure and soil nutrients during the restoration.
