To understand the difference of community characteristics between the planted Quercus variables forest and secondary natural forest, and to provide reference for forest restoration, plot survey method was used to compare the community characteristics, such as species composition, important value, diversity indexes and soil properties of Quercus variables planted forest with secondary natural forest in the same age of 50 years in Baotianman Nature Reserve. The results showed as follows. (1) Quercus variables secondary natural forest consisted of 48 vascular species in 27 families and 40 genera, whereas the planted forest included 24 vascular species in 12 families and 18 genera, similarity index was very low with value of 0.36 between two communities. (2) important value in the arbor and shrub layers of Quercus variabilis secondary natural forest were lower than that of planted forest, which indicated that species richness in the arbor and shrub layers of Quercus variabilis secondary natural forest was greater than that of planted forest. (3) The Maglef index, Simpson index, Shannon-Weiner index and Pielou evenness index of arbor, shrub and herb of Quercus variables planted forest were lower than those of secondary natural forest. In the planted forest, the four diversity indexes were in the order:shrub layer > herb layer > arbor layer, while in secondary forest the indexes were in the order:shrub layer > arbor layer > herb layer. (4) Soil bulk density of Quercus variables natural secondary was lower than that of the planted forest, the TN, TP and SOM of Quercus variables natural secondary forest were greater than those of the planted forest. This study suggested that species composition, diversity index, community structure and soil properties of Quercus variables secondary natural forest were better than planted Quercus variables forest at the same restoration ages, and forest natural restoration was more superior than afforestation in Baotainman Nature Reserve.
