We constructed a food-web model of eight niche categories to explore the application of ecosystem diversity index based on the summation of Shannon indices of inter-species, intra-species, and structure diversity. The model is based on the practical monitoring data collected in the Taiwan red cypress plantation and a secondary broadleaf forest at Hue-Sun Forest Station in Central Taiwan. The highest structure diversity occurs in the summer for all sampling plots, and the red cypress plantation with the most number of invaded broadleaf trees has the highest structure diversity. The variation of total inter-species diversity among plots is high, possibly due to the seasonal variation of species in several niche categories, especially insectivorous mammals, detritvores, carnvorous insects, and phytophagous insects. The uniformity of tree diameter is the main reason of composite intra-species diversity in the secondary forest plot is higher than any plots of the redcypress. In term of ecosystem diversity, all plots in summer are higher than in other seasons; the secondary forest plot and red cypress plot with the most broadleaf invasion also are higher in ecosystem diversity.
