Abstract

To determine important indicators of resource status，such as species，niche breadth （Bi and Ba），and niche overlap），a survey of datum plots for populations of trees （6 species），shrubs （8 species），and herbs （11 species） within a Quercus liaotungensis forest in the Lingkong Mountains of Shaanxi Province were studied using the niche breadth formulae of Levins and Hurlbert and the niche overlap formula of Levins. Results indicated that in the overstory，niche breadth for Quercus liaotungensis （Bi = 1.159 0 and Ba = 0.796 0） and Pinus tabuliformis （Bi = 0.990 7 and Ba = 0.536 1） was greatest. In the shrub layer，niche breadth of Spiraea trilobata （Bi = 1.095 0 and Ba = 0.509 0） was largest. In the herb layer，niche breadth of Carex lanceolata （Bi = 1.309 7 and Ba = 0.948 5） was the most prevalent. Degrees of overlap existed among the various layers with the overlap indexes gradually decreasing from the overstory to the understory. Thus，species with a larger niche breadth had stronger resource utilization capabilities，and their niche overlap was greater than other populations.［Ch，1 fig. 4 tab. 14 ref.］
