Abstract: The objective is to explore the ecology changes of repaired soil which is polluted by heavy metals. Follow-up studies on the structure of fauna communities in soil after different remediation treatments were conducted with Tullgren method during December 2014 to December 2015. The results showed that certain soil animals were inhibited for survival because of the contamination, which resulted in a sharp decline of individual number and class group number. When contaminated water source was eliminated, the number of individual and class group of soil animals increased after plant roots’repairing, and the remediation effects on normal soil fauna communities such as Acarina, Thysanura, Nematoda were obvious. It indicated that when the contaminated water source was eliminated, in soil contaminated by heavy metals, the artificial cultivated repairing plants not only improved the soil physical properties, but also repaired the soil fauna.
