[Objective] To investigate the effects of different slope aspect, slope position and difference succession stages on species diversity and productivity of vegetation in dump slopes of opencast coalmine in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province.[Methods] The plant diversity, evenness and richness indices were calculated. The plant productivity was measured by drying method. The relationship between diversity index and biomass was explored by correlation analysis.[Results] For shady slopes, the plant diversity and evenness was higher at the lower part of slopes while they were higher at the upper parts of sunny slopes. With the succession, the plant diversity gradually declined on the shady slopes, while it increased on the sunny slopes. The aboveground vegetation, litter, and aboveground total biomass were greatest at the upper part of shady slope and at the middle part of sunny slope, respectively. The litter and aboveground total biomass were significantly greater on the shady slope than those on the sunny slope(p<0.05). Shannon-Wiener diversity index was significantly correlated with productivity(aboveground vegetation, litter, and aboveground total biomass, p<0.05). However, we did not find any significant relationship between productivity and other plant diversity indexes(p>0.05).[Conclusions] Vegetation succession and restoration processes of coalmine dumps in Fuxin City might depended on slope aspect and slope position. When vegetation reclamation was carried out for coalmine dumps, the differences in the characteristics of habitats should be considered.
