Abstract:

A survey on vegetation diversity was conducted in 25 plots in Duozhijian region of Dabieshan Mountain. The collected data were analyzed with TWINSPAN software, and nine community types were categorized out of the 25 plots. Shannon index did not fit to vegetation diversity in this area. Simpson index and Pielou eveness were the highest in arbor layer and the lowest in herb layer. Species richness was higher in broad-leaved forests than coniferous forests. The results also demonstrated the species composition and distribution of shrub and herb layers were affected by arbor layer.

Key words: TWINSPAN, community type, ShannonWeiner index, Dabieshan Mountain
