The ecological environment is very fragile in light-moderate rocky desertification areas compared to other non-karst areas. Insects are a large group of organisms, playing a crucial and irreplaceable role in the whole ecosystem. In this study, leafhoppers as the largest group of Hemiptera, have extremely important economic significance and environmental sensitivity, thus they were selected as indicator organisms. Six different land use types were selected to collect leafhopper samples in the light-moderate rocky desertification area, including roxburgh rose forest, walnut forest, rose garden, peach forest, plum forest and grassland. The characteristics of species composition, similarity, diversity and evenness of leafhopper communities in the six different land use plots were calculated, and the relationship between the characteristics and a variety of environmental factors ware also analyzed and discussed. On this foundation, the change trend of four related indexes about species composition, diversity, evenness and richness of leafhopper community in every month was further processed and analyzed. The results showed that there were 52 genera and 11 subfamilies of leafhoppers discovered in the light-moderate rocky desertification area. Bambusananus Li & Xing, Empoascanara Distant, and Empoasca Walsh were the dominant species of each sample plot, accounting for 69.4%. Perhaps more interestingly, the genus Empoasca had the largest number of individuals in each sample plot, accounting for 44.6%. Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') on different land use types in order is:roxburgh rose forest > grassland > walnut forest > plum forest > peach forest > rose garden. Pieluo evenness index (J) is:grassland > roxburgh rose forest > plum forest > peach forest > walnut forest > rose garden. In addition, Simpson dominance index (C) is:rose garden >plum forest > grassland > thorn pear forest > peach forest > walnut forest. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that temperature, as one of environmental factor, has remarkable correlation, which is the dominant factor affecting the number of leafhopper community, while remaining environmental factors (air pressure and humidity) have no obvious correlation. The results of this study demonstrated that the individual numbles (N) and the population numbers (S) of leafhoppers are relatively abundant on two land use types, containing grassland and roxburgh rose forest, which are suitable for the restoration of karst ecological environment in the areas with fragile ecological environment. All in all, the research results are of great significance to the integration and demonstration of rocky desertification control and ecological restoration technology in light-moderate rocky desertification areas.
