Effects of Tending on the Community Structure and Species Diversity of a Tropical Natural Secondary Forest

  • Received Date: 2015-04-20
  • [Objective] To determine the effects of forest tending on the community combination and structure of secondary forest by tending trial on a tropical natural secondary forest in Bawangling forest region,Hainan Island. [Method] Based the forest survey data on 30 permanent plots (50 m×50 m) of 60-year-old tropical secondary forest before and after tending, the variations in stem density, species diversity, community composition, indicator species, dominate species and stem diameter class structure were compared by using pairs t-test, non-metric multidimensional scaling, and indicator species analysis. [Result] The results showed that the stem density in overstory (dbh≥5 cm) and understory (1 cm≤dbh[Conclusion] After tending,the number of short-lived pioneer species were significantly reduced. This effect consequently decreased the competition intensity from pioneer species and proved important foundation for accelerating ecosystem functioning recovery of tropical secondary forest and conducting forest management.
