Abstract:By comprehensive field survey, this study investigated the plant communities in Guangzhou Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Memorial Hall in July 2020. Some indexes such as tree species composition, diameter class, tree height distribution, tree health status were analyzed and compared with the plant community data in 1983, to study the dynamic changes of the plant community structure in Guangzhou Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall in the past 37years. The result showed that from 1983 to 2020, firstly, the plant species in this park increased from 26 to 104, and the native plant species increased from 17 to 63. Secondly, the density of trees increased from 17.1 to 202.1 plants per ha, and the density of shrub increased from 168.7 to 687.8 plants per ha. Thirdly, the number of trees with a trunk diameter of less than 30 cm increased by 372, and the number of trees with a trunk diameter of 30 to 80 cm increased by 343. Fourthly, the proportion of young trees increased, while the proportion of large trees decreased, and the average height of trees decreased from 13.9 to 12.8m. Finally, the health status of the trees was good and the proportion of healthy trees was more than 98%.
