Response of Understory Plant Diversity to Nitrogen Deposition in Subtropical Chinese Fir Plantation Forest
Based on the long-term field manipulation experiment
the response of understory plants to 7 years of nitrogen deposition in a Chinese fir(Cunninghamia lanceolata) forest was investigated. The quantities of experimental N added and treatment codes were N0[(Control); 0 kg/(hm2·a)]; N1[60 kg/(hm2·a)]; N2[120 kg/(hm2·a)]; N3[240 kg/(hm2·a)]. The result showed that the totally 51 species belong to 34 families
45 generas. Along with the increase of nitrogen deposition
plant species
families and genera were all decreased. In addition
both Shannon-Weiner index and Simpson diversity index reduced
but Whittaker index increased with nitrogen deposition increase. Furthermore
Sorenson similarity index was decreased obviously. Detrended correspondence analysis(DCA) indicated that nitrogen deposition changed plant community composition. Plant species Smilax china and Ardisia punctata were found in the plots of four treatments
which would be the popular species. Plant species Ilex asprella
Ficus hirta
Camellia fraternal
Camellia trichoclada and Rhizoma cyperi were found in N0-N2 plots
which would be the resistant species. While Rubus parvifolius
Codonopsis lanceolata
Morinda umbellate
Ficus lyrata
Oreocnide frutescens
Callicarpa formosana
Herba cayratica and Lygodium japonicum were found in N0 and N1 plots
which would be less resistant species. Other 16 species such as Adinandra millettii and Cinnamomum parthenoxylon were only found in N0 plots
which would be the sensitive species. In conclusion
because plant diversity in the subtropical forest was negatively affected by nitrogen deposition
more attention should be paid to the plant conservation.
