Community spatial structure as the critical element of forest, plays an important role in judging the status of community and formulating forest regulation and management measures. This study aims to characterize the current stage of community succession and to provide a theoretical basis for precise future control measures. We selected the Castanopsis eyrei community in Wuyishan National Park as the research subject. Along a continuous elevational transect spanning 800 m to 1200 m above sea level, we established permanent forest dynamics monitoring plots at 200 m vertical intervals. Each plot covered a standardized area of 0.48 hm², laying out three sample plots positioned at precisely defined benchmark elevations. Leveraging tree census data from 2018 and 2023, we selected three indices (uniform angle index, neighborhood comparison, mingling degree) as forest stand spatial structure parameters, analyzed the spatial structure of each sample plot and established multivariate distribution according to the results. Using the g(r) function of spatial point patterns to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of the entire community, the canopy-dominant C. eyrei and understory-dominant Rhododendron ovatum populations. The results demonstrated that: (1) The univariate distribution result revealed that over half of individuals exhibited random spatial distribution, indicating strong mingling within stands. Furthermore, individuals across different dominance classes maintained comparable relative frequencies within the community. (2) The multivariate distribution result revealed that the stand spatial structure showed a random distribution pattern under extreme intensity mixing, with maintaining a moderate growth status. (3) The results of spatial pattern analysis showed that the spatial distribution pattern of the entire community and R. ovatum populations showed cluster distribution on a small scale. With the increase of scale, the spatial distribution pattern of the entire community gradually changed to random distribution, and the spatial distribution pattern of R. ovatum populations changed to uniform distribution. C. eyrei populations exhibited clustered distribution only at isolated spatial scales, while demonstrating random distribution patterns across the entire scale spectrum, nearly. (4) Following five years of growth and regeneration, the relative frequency of competitively suppressed individuals decreased, accompanied by reduced mingling intensity. Furthermore, the spatial distribution pattern exhibited diminished clustering scales and expanded random distribution scales. In aggregate, these observations demonstrated that the community spatial structural of C. eyrei forests in Wuyishan National Park remains fundamentally stable, consistent with prototypical natural forest community structure, having progressed to a late seral stage of ecological succession, and will continue to optimize toward becoming a typical subtropical evergreen broad-leaved climax community. In future community management and regulation, conservation measures should be strengthened, external disturbances reduced, and long-term forest monitoring implemented to promote the survival and regeneration of the C. eyrei forest community and sustain its contributions to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services.
