Abstract:We used a fixed monitoring sample method to conduct a systematic and comprehensive investigation to community natural recovery of Kmeria septentrionalis,analyse community species composition,species diversity and community structure in the process of 5-year succession for the plants K.septentrionalis.The results showed that:(1)The number of families,genera and species in the community decreased significantly,but individuals in a certain species were increased obviously.(2)Species diversities of trees and shrubs changed significantly,while herb layer fluctuation is not obvious.The community succession is still in an early restoration stage.The interspecies competition was strong.Some light demanding tree species in substrate are disappearing,yet neutral shade and tolerant species are keeping on adding,and community species diversities are become more complicated.(3)The species density,cover and important value of endangered K.septentrionalis increased dramatically.K.septentrionalis have strong adaptability to the natural environment,and the status of dominance in the community has been continuously strengthened.The community is developing in the direction of K.septentrionalis to be main constructive species.
