Investigation on diversity of insect and plant communities in Shenzhen Bao'an Airport greenbelt
The environmental characteristics and biodiversity around the airport are closely related to bird strike events.To clarify the biodiversity characteristics of greenbelt of Bao'an International Airport which is located in a subtropical region,a quarterly investigation was conducted from December 2021 to August 2022.The results indicated that the insect community at Bao'an Airport and its surrounding areas consists of 8 orders and 45 families,with the dominant group being Cicadellidae.The diversity of insects in the flight area of Bao'an Airport varies significantly by season,with the highest species richness and abundance in the summer.The dominance,diversity,and evenness indices of the C area are the highest.A total of 67 species of wild vascular plants belonging to 21 families and 57 genera were recorded in the airport flight area,and 436 species of plants were found in the surrounding area,providing a stable vegetation community and a high-quality habitat and food source for insects and birds.The research results will provide a theoretical basis for Bao'an International Airport to formulate ecological precautions against Birdstrike by targeting insects.
