However, little is known about how ecosystem versatility develops during the restoration of forest ecosystems dominated by <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>wutaishanica<\/jats:italic>. In this study, we investigated the species composition of <jats:italic>the Q<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>wutaishanica<\/jats:italic> community, soil nutrients, and their functional traits at various restoration stages, and comprehensively analyzed the correlations among them. At the early stage of restoration (10 years of restoration), there were <jats:italic>Spiraea pubescens<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Syringa pubescens<\/jats:italic> in <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>wutaishanica<\/jats:italic> community (87% of the total species), while had a larger niche width. In the middle of restoration (30 years of restoration), shannon and evenness indices were the largest, while soil total carbon, ammonium nitrogen and chlorophyll content of <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>wutaishanica<\/jats:italic> leaves were the highest; among them, soil total carbon was 15.7% higher than that in 10 years of restoration, 32.4% higher than that in 40 years of restoration, ammonium nitrogen was 71.7% higher than that in 40 years of restoration, and chlorophyll content was 217.9% higher than that in 10 years of restoration, and 51.8% higher than that in 40 years of restoration. At the later stage of restoration (40 years of restoration), <jats:italic>Lonicera ferdinandii<\/jats:italic> occupied the dominant ecological niche, and soil available nitrogen, available phosphorus content and leaf thickness were the largest; while AN was 10.9% higher than that of 10 years of restoration, 16.5% higher than that of 30 years of restoration, AP was 60.6% higher than that of 10 years of restoration, 21.6% higher than that of 30 years of restoration, leaf thickness was 22.3% higher than that of 10 years of restoration, 84.9% higher than that of 30 years of restoration. However, the restriction of various soil nutrients was reduced. Our study highlighted the effectiveness of soil resource availability in plant communities during restoration, reduced competition for light among plants, and altered species richness. Furthermore, changes in the interrelationship between plant community composition and leaf functional traits of the dominant species responded positively to community restoration. These results further deepen our understanding of forest management and restoration of forest communities. In the future, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the influence of various factors on forest community restoration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0294159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T18:31:26Z","timestamp":1700245886000},"page":"e0294159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Quercus wutaishanica shrub affects temperate forest community composition and soil properties under different restoration stage"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0608-9558","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jiming","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinpeng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongshun","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9034-7344","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xingfu","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0294159.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.catena.2013.06.016","article-title":"Soil organic carbon storage capacity positively related to forest succession on the Loess Plateau, China","volume":"110","author":"L.
