The invention relates to a degraded wetland vegetation in-situ recovery method, which is characterized in that according to the method, a seed bank resource remained in selected degraded wetland soil is utilized for carrying out vegetation in-situ recovery. The method comprises the following steps that 1) a soil seed bank is surveyed, and whether the degraded wetland has the vegetation in-situ recovery conditions or not and the plant types with the advantages in the soil seed bank are determined; 2) the water supplementation is carried out on regions meeting the vegetation in-situ recovery conditions in the first step, and in addition, the ground surface water level and the soil moisture content are controlled; 3) the ground surface vegetation after the degraded wetland vegetation in-situ recovery in the second step is surveyed; and 4) the successfully recovered soil seed bank is surveyed to confirm the recovery completion. The method has the advantages that the self remained soil seed bank resource is sufficiently utilized, the operation is easy, the maintenance cost is low, the vegetation recovery is fast, the species diversity is high, and the popularization and the application are easy.
