Forest belt, as a protective zonal plant community, is an effective way to unify the landscape on both sides of the Yangtze river and give play to the ecological restoration function. This paper brie y expounds the concept of ecological restoration and summarizes the methods to guide the landscape construction of the forest belt along the Yangtze river coastline. It also serves as the theoretical basis for exploring the landscape planning and design of the forest belt along the Yangtze river in the Jiangdu economic development zone. This paper discusses how to effectively combine the ecological restoration theory with the landscape design of forest belt along the river, and how to use the corresponding ecological restoration method to construct the landscape of forest belt along the river, to achieve the organic unity of landscape design and ecological restoration theory.
