Features of Plant Community and Driving Forces of Plant Community Succession in the Typical Desert Wetlands

Desert wetlands play a significant role in flood regulation, water purification, biodiversity maintenance, and regional ecological environment improvement. Vegetation is key factor affecting wetland function it important to study the features of plant community driving forces succession. The Ningxia Habahu National Nature Reserve, typical desert ecosystem, was selected communities including density, biomass frequency, vegetation coverage, as well habitats, structural characteristics, species composition, dominant population structure, other characteristics different ecosystems. Data collected using long-term fixed-point observation, sampling monitoring, methods. results showed that total biomass, Magalef index Shannon–Wiener reserve area were all relatively low, which caused by poor habitat salinization arid environment. There no difference between root–shoot ratio plants construct specific leaf also not significantly from nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N/P) ratios found be force for succession wetlands. These only provide underlying insights improvement diversity environment, but scientific basis sustainable protection restoration
