The vegetation succession and biodiversity changes in 22 years' natural restoration after environmental protection were studied in disturbed karst area in northwest Guangxi, via the spot investigation and referred literatures in this paper. Taken climax community in Mulun Natural Reserve as contrast, disturbance theory and community analysis methods were adopted in this study. The investigation showed that there were about 241 species of vascular plant, which belong to 91 families and 206 genera in karst area in the northwest of Guangxi with only 26.6% of species in Mulun Natural Reserve. It indicated that species diversity lost severely in disturbed karst area. There were six vegetation growth forms in the sere, sparse grass of rocky desertification, grassland, grass-shrub, shrub, vine-shrub, tree-shrub. In the sere except the stage with sparse grass of rocky desertification, the average community height ranged from 0.49 m to 15.56 m while density from 468.50 plants per ha2 to 0.31 plants per ha2, and whole coverage was in the trend of higher (0.85), low (0.50), highest (0.90) and high (0.80) after natural restoration. The community biomass varied from 7.74 tons per ha2 to 131.42 tons per ha2 with the +community height increasing and the percentage of the grass biomass to the whole community biomass decreasing. The species diversity and Shannon-Wiener's index increased gradually, from 14 to 46 and from 0.89 to 4.13, respectively. Ecological dominance in the middle stages of the succession lowered from 0.10 to 0.16 with comparative less variations, whereas 0.28 in the beginning and 0.23 in the ending. The reverse was true to the rule of evenness. Compared to the climax community, the largest height, biomass and diversity index reduced by 10.82 m, 42.02 tons per hm2 and 0.29, respectively. According to slow vegetation restoration in disturbed area, the authors discussed the formation mechanism of disturbed area and the effects on vegetation. Meanwhile, the authors put forward three approaches with combination of nature and human being to vegetation recovery, which would be suitable in exceeding degradation in great karst disturbed area in northwest Guangxi.
