Abstract: Plant species diversity dynamic regulation is one of the hotspots of modern ecology research, and its spatial distribution pattern is interfered by many environmental factors. Due to the complex relationship between different environmental factors and their coupling with plant communities, and the response of environmental factors to climate change has been a hot topic in the field of global change science. In order to understand the influence of environmental factors on plant species diversity, this paper reviews the recent research results at home and abroad. We analyzed the effects of environmental factors on species diversity from topographic factors (elevation, slope grade, slope aspect, slope position), soil factors (soil thickness, content of nitrogen, phosphorus, pH value) and meteorological factors (light, temperature, moisture), and provide the corresponding reference data for the scientific evaluation of the response of species diversity to environmental factors.
