Abstract

This research was conducted to find the critical factors that influenced diversity of Eucalyptus understory vegetation. A comparative analysis of annual rainfall, soil water content, and available soil N, P, and K using the Shannon-Wiener (H') and Simpson's (D) diversity indexes from outdoor sample-plot surveying was undertaken on Hainan Island. Results of a single factor correlation analysis showed woody plants had a significant or highly significant correlation with soil moisture (H', P=0.002 6; D, P=0.002 3), annual rainfall (H', P=0.002; D, P=0.005), as well as available N (H',P=0.014 4; D, P=0.025 3) and available P (H', P=0.004 4; D, P=0.012 0) of the soil. However, the relationship of these factors with diversity indexes H' and D in herbaceous plants were not significantly different. This was probably due to understory shrub development that limited herbaceous growth or due to the vegetative successional stage of the understory in the Eucalyptus plantation.
