Abstract:An artificially bared plot of 1 600 m2 in Heishiding, Guangdong Province, was establishedin 1986 by clear cutting conifer and broadleaf mixed forest, removing all the trees, and all theground vegetation was cleared and burnt in the plot. In 1990, the natural regeneration of the vegetation in the plot was shown to be restored fast. The restoring process was started to develop fromPinus massonian- Schima superba-Cunninghamia lanceolata community, and the forest communityhad been basically restored within 4 years. There were 42 tree species in the plot. The species similari coefficient between the plot and the previous plot was 0.6250, and the the species diversity andevenness were higher than those in community of the original plot due to the influence from theneighbouring communities. Compared to other near-by plots set in 1986, the communities of Whichhaving different ages up to more than 50 years were suggested as a successional series, the numbersof tree species and individuals developed in the bared plot tended to increase rapidly in thebeginning, then decrease, and then increase again slowly.
