The result of DCA indicated that those 28 types were reliable. Diagonal line of the two_dimensional ordination diagram of DCA reflects the gradient changes of elevation, temperature and humidity. It is considered that the major factors that restrict the community distribution of the mountains are eleva tion、temperature and humidity.
