Abstract
Investigations of forest plant biological diversity were conducted in Liangshui Nature Reserve, Xiaoxing'an Mountains in eastern Heilongjiang Province. Six samples were selected to initiate fieldwork in spring, summer and autumn. Two samples were added to the whole experiment. Results showed that plant biological diversity in the natural reserve varied with seasons as well as plant growth forms. Generally the highest diversity values occurred in spring in the communities. Herb species had richer diversity than those of either shrub species or wood species. Species richness, diversity and evenness were quoted in the analysis.
