Abstract

In this study, the stand parameters, species, and structurs of Paeonia ludlowii were investigated on nine plots (20 m×20 m).Their community types were classified by TWINSPAN and the relationship between Paeonia ludlowii and community features were analyzed. The results showed that the plant community was classified into tree community and shrub community by TWINSPAN. The community mean DBH(diameter at breast height), mean height, and basal areas were higher in the tree community than in the shrub community, however,the abundance was lower in the tree community than in the shrub community, and the two community types had no significant difference in crown density, elevation, and slope. The species richness was higher in the tree community than in the shrub community, and no significant difference were found in shrub, liana, and herb species richness. It was found that the tree community had higher abundance of P. ludlowii than the shrub community, however, no significant difference were found in two communities about mean DBH and mean height of P. ludlowii. The correlation between community characteristics and P.ludlowii was analyzed and it showed that the abundance and mean DBH of P. ludlowii were positively correlated with community abundance and shrub abundance respectively, and negatively correlated with tree species richness respectively. The abundance of P. ludlowii was negatively correlated with tree abundance, the mean DBH of P. ludlowii was negatively correlated with community mean height, and the mean DBH and mean height of P. ludlowii were positively correlated with liana species richness. The variables with correlation could be represented by different regression equations. It also found that crown-area, height, clump and seedling stems of P. ludlowii were positively correlated with crown-area of thicket, the two community types had no significant difference in seedling stems of P. ludlowii.
