Survey of Plant Community Characteristics in Bamenwan Mangrove of Wenchang City

According to natural conditions and vegetation distribution characteristics of Wenchang Bamenwan Mangrove Forest, sample plots were set up to investigate plant community characteristics in this area, and to explore the diversity characteristics of different subareas and calculate importance values of various tree species in the study area. According to the investigation, there are 48 plant species of 42 genera and 28 families in Bamenwan Mangrove Forest, including 29 tree species of 24 genera and 17 families. Among the tree species, those on the top 5 in the importance value list are Hibiscus tiliaceus, Bruguiera sexangula, Lumnitzera littorea, Rhizophora apiculata, Xylocarpus granatum. There are 3 shrub species of 3 genera and 3 families, including Atalantia buxifolia, Lantana camara and Streblus asper. And there are 16 herbal species of 16 genera and 11 families, including Acrostichum aureum, Vernonia cinerea, Acanthus ilicifolius, Alocasia macrorrhiza, Synedrel a nodiflora, Gynura japonica and etc.. Diversity of the mangrove in different areas varies greatly, Shannon-Wiener index and richness index of semi-mangrove forest are both higher than those of other 3 mangrove forests. Bamenwan Mangrove Forest is characterized by diversified species and complex structures, but the community diversity is unevenly distributed because of the interventions from many factors. More human efforts are suggested to enhance the mangrove protection, so as to enrich the community diversity.

文昌市八门湾红树林区植物群落特征调查

根椐文昌市八门湾红树林区自然条件和植被分布特征,设置研究样地对该区植物群落特征进行调查,研究不同区域红树林的多样性特征,并对八门湾红树林群落不同乔木树种重要值进行计算。结果显示:八门湾红树林区共有植物28科42属48种,其中乔木层共有植物17科24属29种,重要值前5位的树种是黄瑾、海莲、榄李、正红树、木果楝;灌木层共有植物3科3属3种,包括东风橘、马樱丹、鹊肾树;草本层共有植物11科16属16种,主要有卤蕨、夜香牛、老鼠簕、海芋、金腰箭、菊三七等。不同区域红树林物种多样性存在较大差异,半红树林区香浓-维纳指数、丰富度均大于其它3个红树林区。八门湾红树林区树种组成丰富、结构复杂,但受多种干扰因素的影响,群落多样性分布不均。建议通过加强人工防护,使群落多样性更加丰富。
