Abstract

We described the features of the horizontal regionalization and vertical zonation of the forest vegetation in Northeast China. Northeast China was horizontally divided into four vegetation regions: the cool temperate deciduous coniferous forest region, the temperate mixed evergreen coniferous-deciduous broad-leaved forest region, the warm temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest region, and the temperate steppe region. The feature of vegetation (including altitudinal zonation) in each region was characterized. Sixty major forest (including scrub) types were recognized in Northeast China, which include twenty-one types of coniferous forests, four types of mixed evergreen coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved forests, and thirty-five types of deciduous broad-leaved forests. Distributions, conununity structure, and species composition of each of the sixty forest types were described.
