Abstract
In recent years, great importance Was attached to afforestation in mine areas at home and abroad but very few examples of success of the afforestation in the stripped topsoil of a mine were reported. Tasmanian bluegums(Eucalyptus globulus) Were planted at Zhongbao Matouqing Phosphate Mine in Haikou Forest Farm of Kunming. They have grown to be a closed canopy for the first one year so that soil erosion has been controlled effectively. From what has been said above, the afforestation proves feasible and successful.
