Distribution characteristics of soil phosphorus availability and its correlations with plant species diversity in the forest ecosystem of Mt.Jinyun are studied in this paper.The results are as follows:①Available P of soil profile in different communities has an evident gradient,i.e.,A(humus layer)>B(deposition layer)>C(parent material layer).②Except for shrub-grassland,soil available P content orderly increases along the successional directions,i.e.,Pinus massoniana forest展开▼
