| By conducting community surveys of representative plant communities including trees, shrubs, and herbaceous species in the northern Shaanxi Loess Plateau, the plant diversity during community succession processes was explored, aiming to provide guidance for vegetation restoration in this region. The results indicated that the richness of endemic vegetation species and the diversity information index of plants were relatively low, while the community evenness index was relatively high, reflecting the fragile ecological conditions of arid to semi-arid environments that had not yet developed into mature climax communities. It is recommended to intensify efforts in plant diversity conservation to promote healthy ecological development in the Loess Plateau region. |
