Abstract: Community assembly is a central issue in ecology research. The research methods of functional traits and phylogeny can improve the role of niche theory in community assembly. In this study, the plant communities on the sunny slope and shady slope of Guilin Karst Hills were taken as the research subjects, based on 82 species appearing in the habitat, the phylogenetic trees were constructed, soil water content, total nitrogen, organic matter and the plant functional traits of leaf dry matter, chlorophyll, leaf thickness and wood density on the sunny slope and shady slope were measured, and the phylogenetic signals of the functional traits were examined. The results showed that: 1) Soil water content, total nitrogen and organic matter content on sunny slope were significantly higher than those on shady slope (P<0.05). 2) The chlorophyll, leaf thickness and wood density on the shady slope were significantly higher than those on the sunny slope (P<0.05). 3) The four functional traits showed weak phylogenetic signals. 4) The phylogenetic structures of communities on both shady slope and sunny slope showed divergent distributions, suggesting that habitat filtration was the main driving force for the community assembly on both shady slope and sunny slope.

Key words: phylogenetic, functional traits, community assembly, karst hills
