The rapid rise of ecological restoration is forcing our consideration of what restoration being successful, and how to evaluate ecological restoration is a great challenge faced by the related scientists. At present, ecological evaluation is mainly implemented through the measuring of vegetation structure, ecological processes, and biodiversity, while the variations of these indices cannot be sure to definite the interrelationships between these indices in the processes of ecological restoration. To further understand the logic of these indices in evaluating the processes of ecological restoration, it should be to know which selected processes and structural indices representing the dominant ecological functions, and based on this, to build an appropriate evaluation indices system of ecological restoration. In order to promote the study on the evaluation of ecological restoration, it is suggested to strengthen the monitoring of ecological restoration, construct the ecological criteria for successful restoration, further study the ecological restoration evaluation indices system, implement the dynamic evaluation of ecological restoration projects, and intensify the theoretical and practical guidance of using the evaluation results.
