Based on the investigation of vegetation status in the hilly area of Taihang Mountains in NorthernHe′nan,six vegetation restoration models for the area are proposed according to the habitat and vegetationcharacteristics by applying ecological principle and methods.The models are the soil and water conservationforest model,ecological economy model,closing for afforestation model,vegetation restoration model in roadsides,nature reserve model and fire-resistant forest belt model.Specifically,vegetation restoration model inthe hilly area of Taihang Mountain is studied from the aspects of zonal plant communities,fire disaster reduction,landscape ecology,optimal location and so on.Results have a guiding significance for the vegetationrestoration in the hilly area of Taihang Mountains in Northern He′nan and overall Taihang Mountains.
