Abstract

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function is a significant scientific concern today. The purpose of this study was to examine the link between plant diversity and microbial communities in native mixed-Korean pine forests and to construct a comprehensive evaluation model that utilizes both vegetation diversity and microbial functional diversity to assess the stability of the forest ecosystem. Experiments were conducted in a series of original Korean pine forests compared to adjacent artificial forests. The experimental design included five plots (HD, HZ, HY, LY, and BH), each measuring 800 m². Plant studies indicated that vegetation significantly (P > 0.05) affects the crown volume index of the herb, shrub, and tree layers. Species richness, diversity, and evenness of the herb, shrub, and tree layers in original Korean pine forest types were significantly (P > 0.05) higher than those in artificial forest types.
