A Study on Species Diversity of Shrubs in Eucalyptus spp Plantation under Different Management Practices
The species diversity of shrubs in Eucalyptus spp. Plantation under different management practices was studied. The results showed that different management practices had great influence on species diversity of shrubs in Eucalyptus spp. The species richness, Simpson biodiversity index and productivity under extensive management practice was 59. 1% ,79. 76% ,70. 3% of those of Acacia mearnsii ( CK). Those under ordinary management practice were 90. 9% ,98. 81% ,89. 2% of those of CK. Those under intensive management were 77.3%, 85.71%,81.1% of those of CK. And highly intensive management could alleviate the descent of the species richness,Simpson biodiversity indexes and productivity, which were 90. 9% ,97. 62% and 94. 6% of those of CK. It means that extensive management practices can improve the species diversity of shrubs.
