Abstract: | Species diversity and stability of natural secondary communities in different layers with different cutting intensities 10
years later were investigated by calculating Marglef Richness index (R), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H), Simpson diversity index (P), and Pielou Evenness index (J). Results show that the values of R, H and P among different layers are listed in a decreasing order: the shrub layer > the arbor layer > the herb layer, all the three
indices values reach the maximum under medium selective cutting intensity after 10 years. The J value of the shrub layer shows a concave parabolic change with the increase in cutting intensity; it shows a linear increase
for the arbor layer, whereas the J value of the herb layer shows an opposite change pattern. The values of R at different cutting intensities had high significant difference, but other indices had not significant difference. The stability
of communities at different cutting intensities after 10 years is non-cutting> low selective cutting intensity > medium selective
cutting intensity > high selective cutting intensity > extra-high intensity > clear cutting. The stability of communities
at different cutting intensities after 10 years shows that the greater cutting intensities, the worse the stability is. |
