“…Wuyi Mountain National Park is located in the northern part of Fujian Province (117 • 24 13 -117 • 59 19 , 27 • 31 20 -27 • 55 49 ), which is situated in the humid zone of the central subtropical monsoon, with an annual average temperature of 17.7 • C, precipitation of 1800 mm, an annual average duration of sunshine of 1910.2 h, and an average of 79% relative humidity. As the altitude of these mountains increases, there are four types of vegetation zones with different community characteristics, namely, evergreen broad-leaved forests, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, dwarf forests, and mesic meadows, with clear demarcation lines and obvious plant vertical zones from the foot of the mountain upwards [23].…”

This paper investigates the changes in species diversity and the spatial pattern of the population of a moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forest community in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve in Fujian Province, China. Using the method of space–time substitution, the composition of species and changes in the spatial patterns of different communities were analyzed by taking Phyllostachys edulis mixed forests after 0, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 40 years of enclosure as the survey object. The results showed that as the number of years of enclosure extended, the important values of the Japanese bay tree (Machilus thunbergii Sieb. & Zucc.), chinquapin (Castanopsis faberi Hance), and Masson’s pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) increased continuously. These trees became the dominant species of mature forest after 40 years of enclosure. The species diversity of mature and young trees in the community generally increased in parallel with the years of enclosure, and the species diversity of the shrubs generally increased first and then decreased as the number of years of enclosure increased. With the extension of enclosure years, the average diameter at breast height of the mature trees tended to increase, indicating that there were increasing advantages of mature growth as the time of enclosure increased. With the extension of enclosure years, the pattern of spatial distribution of the mature trees in the forest community was generally an aggregated distribution. The Phyllostachys edulis forest community under the prolonged enclosure conditions responded in a positive direction and ultimately formed a more stable Phyllostachys edulis mixed forest community.
