Abstract

An important task of biodiversity research is to evaluate the diversities of previous and existent species . Many measure indexes and methods are put forward in the study of evaluating the diversities of forest communities in the temperate zone .Different measure methods imply different ecological significances .To choose the appropriate measure indexes for the study of the diversities of communities in the temperate zone , measure methods of - diversity , -diversity and -diversity were systematically summarized and expatiated .The most appropriate measure indexes and methods for the evaluation of the community diversities in the temperate forest were found out by the comparison of different measure indexes and methods .Species richness index , Simpson index , Shannon-Wiener index , Alatalo evenness index , PIE and ecological dominance index were optimum measure indexes for evaluating - diversity of communities in the temperate forest ;Whittaker index and Bray-Curtis index were suitable for the measure of -diversity ;-diversity could be substituted by -diversity and -diversity .The findings provide powerful proofs for the further study and evaluation of the community diversities in the temperate forest .[ Ch , 38 ref .]
