Appropriate afforestation tree species could improve the restoration functions of the ecosystem. In order to figure out which tree species would do better to the vegetation restoration in degradation sandstone mountainous region, we took the ecological afforestation area that was located in the central south of Shandong as study area, investigated and analyzed the impact of ecological afforestation on the diversities of herbaceous vegetation. Results showed that: (1) the number of herbaceous kinds under five afforestation tree species were 64, the locust forest had the minimum kinds and the dominant species had significant advantage; (2) the trend of diversity indexes and biomass of species under five plantation showed that: lower slope > middle slope > upper slope, diversity indexes and biomass of species in economic forest were higher than timber forest, higher in mixed forest than pure forest, and higher in coniferous forest than broadleaf forest; (3) the species abundance, diversity indexes and homogeneity indexes decreased with the increase of altitude; (4) the correlation between community diversities and above-ground biomass of herbaceous vegetation was significant, and the increase amplitude showed a trend that increased first and then decreased with the increase of biomass.
