With the destruction of human impact, the areas and resources of mangrove were decreased abruptly in our motherland. Parts of existed mangrove wetlands are in the status of deterioration. Therefore, it is important significance in ecological restoration of mangrove wetlands. The paper studied artificial ecological restoration of mangrove wetlands in Quanzhou bay by selecting different beach sites, afforesting patterns and planting Aegiceras corniculatum and Kandelia candel under different density, then analyzed the investment costs of each afforestation method of Aegiceras corniculatum and Kandelia candel . The result showed that shallow or medium beach must be elected when we carry out vegetation renewal and cultural planning, with the effect of tide on beach. The survive rate is beyond 83% for Aegiceras corniculatum by transplanting with natural small seedlings and Kandelia candel by planting with hypocotyls. The space of initial plantation should be properly close (0.5 m×1.0 m). Mangrove plantation effectively protects coast seashore in attenuating waves,promoting sedimentation and against strong wind.Read More
