Abstract:In order to explore the avian community structure from artificial forest in the Pearl River Stream and compare avian community structure differences between artificial forest and natural forest, surveys on bird and environmental factors were carried out to forest, with line-transect method, in Maolan, Guizhou Province from March to December 2017. A total of 106 species of birds, belonging to 17 orders and 46 families, were recorded. The results showed that both the avian species richness and the avian abundance from the two forest types were significant different (p<0.001), and the average values from natural forest were higher than those from artificial forest. Four avian guilds from natural forest were all higher than artificial forest by comparing avian food types, among which insectivore and granivore exhibited highly significant difference (p<0.01). Pearson correlative analysis indicated that bird species were positively correlated with tree species, quantity and coverage (p<0.01) with highly significance, and positive correlated with tree coverage and average distance to highway (p<0.05) with significance. Avian numbers were positively correlated with tree quantity and distance from highways with highly significance, and positively correlated with tree coverage and shrub coverage significantly, while negatively correlated with human disturbance and distance from the nearest water resource with highly significance. In addition, bird diversity would be increased by raise arbor species, shrub coverage, grass coverage, and diversity expansion of plant community.
