Coastal vegetation plays an important role in resisting storm surges and alleviating coastal erosion. Therefore, screening plant species for the purpose of constructing ecological seawalls to protect or repair damaged coastal zones has become a hot issue. In this paper, a field survey was conducted to investigate the vegetation in Chengcun Bay surrounding areas of Yangjiang City by combining a line survey and sample plot survey. By understanding the vegetation types, distribution and community structure in the bay\u2019s surrounding areas and analyzing the restricting environmental factors of those plants, we put forward some countermeasures for coastal vegetation restoration in difficult site conditions from the aspects of plant species selection, vegetation configuration and restoration technology, so as to provide reference for ecological vegetation restoration in similar locations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191610399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,21]],"date-time":"2022-08-21T22:23:13Z","timestamp":1661120593000},"page":"10399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Distribution Characteristics and Restoration Application of Vegetation in Chengcun Bay Surrounding Areas of Yangjiang City"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Shan","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Observation and Research Station of Island and Coastal Ecosystem in the Western Taiwan Strait, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanmin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Observation and Research Station of Island and Coastal Ecosystem in the Western Taiwan Strait, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kunxian","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Observation and Research Station of Island and Coastal Ecosystem in the Western Taiwan Strait, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Observation and Research Station of Island and Coastal Ecosystem in the Western Taiwan Strait, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Marine Ecological Conservation and Restoration, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weilun","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"140784","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2020.140784","article-title":"Vegetation responses to extreme climatic indices in coastal China from 1986 to 2015","volume":"744","author":"Xu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sci.
