As a type of plant with benefits in soil erosion prevention and control，lianas have advantages such as strong stress resistance，rapid growth rate，and low maintenance costs，thereby enjoying broad application prospects in slope protection of production and construction projects.According to the current application research status of lianas in slope protection of production and construction projects such as transportation engineering and open-pit mines，this paper concluded the practical problems and those reasons in the application of lianas，such as low acceptance and disconnection between research achievements and transformation.It is suggested that multiple effective measures be adopted to enhance the research，application，and protection of lianas resources in China，enabling them to be widely applied and developed in soil and water conservation and ecological restoration governance.
