In order to discuss vegetation restoration measures of abandoned mines, the growth adaptability of planting species were investigated after different vegetation restoration measures were implemented for six years on abandoned quarry in Mentougou. The adaptability of 11 kinds of planting species was evaluated based on the adaptability index. The vegetation investigation was implemented in the abandoned area of quarry in Mentougou, and the adaptability of 11 kinds of planting species was evaluated based on the adaptability index. The results showed: the adaptability of shrubs was better than that of arbors; the difference of the adaptability of the 11 kinds of planting species was significant.
