Abstract:This research focused on the investigation of the vegetations in the coal mine subsided areas of Shenfu-Dongsheng coal mine region with different landforms.Based on the data obtained from the field survey,we measured the correlations between species diversity and soil properties in different geomorphic types and slopes.The findings showed that:(1)The plant species in Halagou mine(hilly-gully region) were richer than those in Dalita mine(windy desert area).Lespedeza davurica could be indicator plant in windy desert area,which succession mechanism conformed to the tolerance theory.Salsola affinis could be indicator plant in hilly-gully region,which succession mechanism conformed to the Promotion theory and competition.(2)After 12a subsiding disturbance,Shannon-Wiener index and Simpson index increased by 54.60% and 73.85% in two areas,respectively.The soil water content and soil urease activity increased by 8.64% and 57.14% in windy desert area,and soil organic matter increased by 47.73% in hilly-gully region.(3)After coal mining subsidence,soil catalase activity and volumetric water content decreased by 63.50% and 58.70%,the species diversity reduced significantly in the middle of slope in sandstorm area(P<0.05).Soil water content,soil nutrient and the species diversity increased in the bottom of slope in windy desert area(P<0.05).The vegetation diversity and soil physical and chemical properties changed together.(4)Significant positive correlation was observed of species diversity with soil water content in windy desert area.The species diversity was negatively correlated with soil organic matter content in hilly-gully region.
