Title: Characteristics of Plant Community Species Diversity of Oasis Desert Ecotone in Fukang,Xinjiang
Abstract: The richness indices, species diversity indices, evenness indices and dominance indices based on important value, cover and abundance were used respectively to analyze vegetation in Fukang, Xinjiang. The results indicated that: 1) the species diversity order of the vegetation type was as follows: the Tamarix ramosissima community, Reaumuria soongorica community and Haloxylon ammodendron community were the highest, the communities of Bassia sedoides, Petrosimonia sibirica, Kalidium foliatum, Suaeda glauca , and Bassia dasyphylla were middle, Anabasis aphylla and Suaeda acuminata were the lowest; 2) with community succession, species diversity of communities fluctuated in the trend of lower-highest-higher; 3) diversity index based on important value and cover were more properly in arid desert areas.
