Abstract: Plant community type, species composition, diversity and diameter-class structure in the Confucian Cemetery were investigated by using the quadrat survey method, and the process and trend of the succession of the plant community were explored by comparing with the historical survey data. The results showed that the plant community types increased after 50 years of succession. In addition to the original Platycladus orientalis forest, Quercus acutissima forest and Pistacia chinensis forest, there are new broad-leaved forests such as Robinia pseudoacacia forest and Gleditsia sinensis forest, and mixed broadleaf-conifer forests such as Platycladus orientalis-Pistacia chinensis forest, Platycladus orientalis-Koelreuteria paniculate forest and Quercus acutissima-Platycladus orientalis forest. Broad-leaved tree species increased in plant community. The plant community is succeeding towards the climax deciduous broad-leaved forest. Compared with 50 years ago, the coverage of shrub layer decreased, the coverage of herb layer increased, and the number of exotic plant species increased. The species composition of shrubs and herbaceous plants varied significantly in 50 years. Platycladus orientalis and Robinia pseudoacacia population were in the stable development stage, Pistacia chinensis population was in the good growth stage, and Quercus acacia population had a declining trend. The plant diversity of arbor layer, shrub layer and herb layer of Platycladus orientalis-Myosoton aquaticum association was low, and the influence of human disturbance on plant diversity was much higher than that of natural habitat. Human activities such as shrub management, plant introduction and cultivation and tourism on a regular basis have a certain influence on the plant community of the Confucian Cemetery. It is suggested that on the basis of necessary artificial afforestation and artificial conservation, human interference should be appropriately reduced to promote the succession of the plant community to the near natural forest in the Confucian Cemetery.

Key words: plant community, succession, diversity, the Confucian Cemetery
