Characteristics of herbaceous plant vegetation recovery of typical vegetation at its early recovery stage in moderate burned areas in Juci Mountain National Forest Park
In order to find the changing rules of vegetation restoration after fire disturbance,the effects of early herbal recovery characteristics of different vegetation types in Juci Mountain National Forest Park after moderate fire disturbance were studied through community surveying the burned area and unburned area of Platycladus orientalis forest and herbage.Results showed that the important values and species diversity indexes of the two types of burned area studied had the same changing trends.Species importance values of the two burned types declined significantly comparing with that of unburned area (P<0.05).The number of herbaceous plant species of two burned types increased significantly comparing with that of unburned area (P<0.05).The values of species diversity Simpson index (D),Shannon index (H) of the two burned types were significantly higher than that of unburned area (P<0.05).Studying the niche of the two vegetation types before and after fire disturbance showed that the majority of Platycladus orientalis forest and herbage were the wide niche populations,and the narrow niche-type species was relatively smaller than that of wide niche-type species.The numbers of species-pairs with lower values of niche overlap increased.
