Abstract

Abstract: [Objective] The objective of this study was to determine the construction mechanism of typical mid-subtropical natural broad-leaved forest community by studying spatial pattern and association based on natural stratification of arbor-layer.[Method] Five plots in size of 50 m×50 m set up at a location where the forest is nearly old-growth forest community in Wanmulin Nature Reserve in Fujian Province were investigated. The arbor layers of the plots were divided into sub-layers using the maximum light receiving plane (MLRP) method. The spatial pattern of each sub-layer and association of paired sub-layers therefore could be tested based on the spatial point pattern analysis.[Result] The arbor layer of each plot could be divided into light receiving layer (sub-layer Ⅰ) and none-light receiving layer (sub-layer Ⅱ). Arbor trees in each sub-layer of each plot are mainly in random pattern in the small spatial scale of 0-25 m. Only at a few scales trees of sub-layers deviated from the null model of complete spatial random, among them, trees of sub-layer Ⅰ tended to have a uniform dispersion because of strong competition and almost equivalent competitive power, but trees of sub-layer Ⅱ displayed a cluster pattern because of aggregation growth of some species in that sub-layer. Sub-layers Ⅰ and Ⅱ displayed overall non-significant association, most paired sub-layers displayed the null model at almost all scales indicating an equilibrium between total positive effects and total negative effects derived from various ecological processes.[Conclusion] The studied typical mid-subtropical natural broad-leaved forest communities are structured by neutral factors. The communities are stable and can be maintained for a long time because various ecological processes in the communities are at equilibrium.

Key words: mid-subtropical zone, natural broad-leaved forest, Wanmulin, spatial pattern, association, stratification of arbor layer, neutral theory
