Abstract

This study investigated the latitudinal, longitudinal and altitudinal distribution of 6 kinds of representative forests in China: Pinus massoniana, Cunninghamia lanceolata and Castanopsis eyrei forests are distributed in subtropical region; Quercus liaotungensis, Betula platyphylla and Populus davidiana are eurychoric species, which are mainly distributed in temperate and warm temperate zone. Significant correlation between the horizontal zonality and forests are only observed for the 3 widely distributed forests, the reason could be the limit of heat and moisture. There’s no clear correlation between the 3 subtropical forests and horizontal zonality, for our data’s geographic locations and human’s impacts.
