Abstract:Applying x2 test with 2×2 contingency table and the analysis of species diversity of the Yunnan Malong upland meadow, we learned that there are 27 spermatophyte species belonging to 12 families and 25 genera in the meadow. The dominant plants are (Zmperata cylindrica)and Potentilla fulgens. The principal species in the communities are remotely related, with a slight species diversity and low Simpson ecologic dominance index. The productivity of the upland meadow has declined and the coverage of the upland meadow fallen to 70%. Very few of the plant species are esculent. Many are poisonous and deleterious. The sum of their IV account for the overall IV is 36.29%. The meadow has been overgrazed and undergone deterioration.
