Characteristics of Plant Diversity Under Different Soil and Water Loss Control Models in Granite Erosion Area
[Objective] Differences in plant community structure and diversity under different control models were compared in order to provide a scientific basis for soil erosion control and vegetation restoration measures. [Methods] The Tangbei small watershed in Xingguo County
Jiangxi Province was selected as the research area
and orchard development (model A) and ecological restoration (model B) were selected as the main soil and water loss control models. Selected secondary forests and no artificial governance forest land (control
CK) were used as control plots
and the community sampling method was used to investigate and analyze species composition
community structure
and plant diversity of the plant communities at each woodland location. [Results] ① The dominant species in model A
model B
secondary forest
and CK arbor-irrigation were Citrus sinensis
Pinus massoniana
Cyclobalanopsis glauca
and P. massoniana
respectively. The dominant species in the herbaceous layer were Digitaria sanguinalis in model A
and in the other three groups the dominant species were Dicranopteris pedata. Compared with the CK
the community structure of model A had changed
and the community structure of model B had not changed
still being dominated by positive pioneer plants such as P. massoniana and D. pedata. ② Species richness
Simpson diversity index
Shannon-Wiener index
and Evenness index of the secondary forest were the highest. Compared with the CK
models A and B had improved species richness and plant diversity
but both of these factors were lower than those of the secondary forest. The level of diversity was similar. ③ The overall performance of the plant communities in the four woodlands was very different
and there was only one plant species in common. Compared with model A
the community composition of model B
secondary forest
and CK were more similar. [Conclusion] Controlling soil erosion is beneficial to the restoration of vegetation. The orchard development model not only meets the requirements of soil erosion control and vegetation recovery
but also has certain economic benefits. It is a model worthy popularizing for soil and water loss control.
