Abstract [ Objective ] The study aimed to provide the basis for the vegetation recovery in stone ballast slope in Xiaoqinling mining area. [ Method] From 2005, many kinds of plant were selected for the experiment of vegetation recovery in stone ballast slope in Xiaoqinling mining area and the scientific allocation model was proposed. [ Result ] The varieties of plant selected for the vegetation recovery in stone ballast slope were herb plants （tall feseue and timothy）, woodiness liana plants （kudzu, Koston ivy and Parthenocissus quinquefolia）, shrub （Sorbaria sorbifolia A., Amorpha fruticosa L. and Vitex chinensis Mill. ） and arbor （Hankow willow, Amygdalus tangutica, Chinese and arborvitae）. The allocation model was following： herb plant ＋ arbor was fit for the mining area with altitude of 500 - 1 000 m and good microclimate condition. Herb plant ＋ woodiness liana was fit for the mining area with the altitude of 1 500 - 2 000 m. Herb plant ＋ arbor was fit for the mining area with the altitude higher than 2 000 m and the poor micrnelimate condition. [ Conclusion] When herb was planted in the first year and arbors and shrub were planted in the second year with scientific topdressing and watering, the vegetation condition in stone ballast slope in Xiaoqinling mining area could be improved.
