The invention discloses an estuary wetland mangrove forest ecological rehabilitation afforestation method. The estuary wetland mangrove forest ecological rehabilitation afforestation method comprises the steps that a rehabilitation test area is divided into an upper stream, a middle stream and a lower stream; soil covered by regional advantage mangrove trees at different sea levels is selected as study objects, and the vacant field and a bare field serve as a reference; the response characteristics of different areas, different sea levels, the photosynthetic characteristics of different plants and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics to an alternative flooding and high-salt environment, the response of dynamic growth of different mangrove forest vegetations to the alternative flooding and high-salt environment, the response of a plant-soil system to soil sedimentation, salt and alkalinity, the response of soil nutrients affected by the plants to the wetland environment, and the response characteristics of soil enzymes to the wetland environment are analyzed in sequence. The most comfortable living environment is sought for the estuary wetland mangrove forest plants according to the dynamic and static adaptation characteristics to the environment of different advantage mangrove forest plants in different areas. According to the estuary wetland mangrove forest ecological rehabilitation afforestation method, the plants adapting to the different wetland environments can be accurately selected, and the method can be used for ecological rehabilitation afforestation of an estuary wetland.
