When species of different abundance coexist, their ecological strategies remain uncertain. Assessing the functional diversity and niche characteristics with levels contributes to understanding vegetation properties is essential for conservation. Based on 380 plots in Gutianshan subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest Zhejiang Province China, woody plants were categorized as common (86 species), occasional (87 rare (79 species). Plant traits, including maximum height, seed dispersal modes, first flowering stage, duration, fruit length, used assess community common, occasional, species, while 15 environmental factors evaluate Levins’ breadth Pianka’s overlap. The results showed that have highest evenness, dispersion Rao’s quadratic entropy higher (2.05 5.07, respectively) compared (1.57 3.10) (1.35 2.48).

In recent decades, excessive human activities have led to large-scale rocky desertification in karst areas. Vegetation restoration is one of the most important ways control desertification. this study, vegetation surveys were conducted on three typical plantations Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, a fault basin area, 2016 and 2021. The Pinus massoniana forest (PM), yunnanensis (PY), mixed forests Quercus variabilis (MF). Plant diversity soil nutrients compared during five-year period. This paper mainly draws following results: plant PM, PY, MF increased. With increase time, new species appeared tree layer, shrub herb layer forests. Tree with smaller importance values gradually withdrew from community. Patrick index, Simpson Shannon–Wiener index increased significantly. Pielou changed highest for PM PY There was no significant difference layer. bulk density (BD) decreased. total porosity (TP), capillary (CP), non-capillary (NCP). pH significantly 5.88~6.24 7.24~7.34. decreased (p < 0.05). contents nitrogen (TN) ammonium (NH4+-N) content nitrate (NO3−-N) Total phosphorus (TP) MF. available (AP) general, physical chemical properties also been improved. results can provide data support

Soil microorganisms play a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycle and serve as crucial indicators of ecological restoration terrestrial ecosystems. The soil microbial community is regarded participant environmental processes, offering both positive negative feedback to diverse media within ecosystem. This can potential indicator monitoring processes. Consequently, an increasing number scholars are directing their research towards field ecology ecosystems fragile areas, with aim elucidating intricate interactions between microbes vegetation. However, implementation microbiome remains experimental stage due interference extreme events complexity governance measures. comprehensive evaluation existing imperative. review aims address crises currently experienced by provide overview specific practices context restoration. We also incorporate them into habitats identify urgent issues that need be addressed process areas.
