Abstract:

Plant diversity of four major forest communities in Erlangshan National Forest Park in Shanxi Province was studied by richness and evenness indexes based on plot investigations.The results showed that:there were 40 species belonging to 22 families and 31 genera in the four community types.The diversity and evenness indexes of two natural communities,one pure forest of Pinus tabulaeformis and one mixed forest with Quercus wutaishanica were both higher than the other two forest communities.It indicated that stand origin,slope,vertical community structure and stand density had great influences on plant diversity of communities.The plant diversity of three natural forests was greater than that of one plantation.The diversity index was decreased with the increasing of slope.The species diversity of shurb layer was higher than that of the tree layer and herb layer.The species richness and diversity of the community was also decreased by the higher stand density.This study could provide theoretical basis for the management in erlangshan National Forest Park and the sustainable development of plant resources.

Key words: Erlangshan, forest community, plant diversity
