218 field plots were sampled and characteristics of plant communities of the Sichuan snubnosed golden monkey habitat with various levels of degradation in Shennongjia district were compared. Community restoration models for degraded habitat were proposedusing community composition of the prime habitats. Results showed that the degree of habitat degradation in coniferous and coniferous and broadleaved mixed forests was higher than that in broadleaved deciduous forest.Tree species composition between prime habitat and degraded habitat was similar,but number of shrub species and food sources species in prime habitat was higher than that in degraded habitat. The main causes of habitat degradation were deforestation,insects and plant diseases,and overutilization by the golden monkey. Canopy density and average height of arbor decreased with the increaseof degradation severity. Eight different methods for habitat restoration for habitats underthelight,moderate and severe degree of degradation were put forward. It will provide direct scientific and practical support for habitat restoration and management of Sichuan snubnosed monkey in Shennongjia National Nature Reserve.
