Abstract: Taking Ansai County in the gully area of hilly loess region for example,three different disturbances were selected to study the characteristics of plant community composition,community structure,species diversity and aboveground biomass,and then analyze the impacts of the three different disturbances on the vegetation restoration of abandonded farmland.The results showed that the annual herb species increased and plant species decreased with the increase of disturbances.Protective measure increased species diversity,and the shrubs became the rudiment of natural shrub-grassland.Aboveground biomass showed as PL(Protected land)AL(Abandoned land)GL(Grazing land),and the protected land had a sign of forming a natural grassland.
