Numerical classification and ordination of plant communities in the alpine tundra of Mt. Changbai

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the plant communities in aJpine tundra of Mt. Changbai were studied using the methods of DCAordination (DECORANA program)and TWINSPANpolythetic hierarchical divisive classification (TWINSPAN program).The results show that 59 types of plant communities in the alpine tundra of Mt. Changbai were basically arranged along a soil-water gradient of the second axis in DCAordination and could be classified into 12 groups by TWINSPAN. In addition, a comparison of the results by DCA and TWINSPAN and by traditional classification was made in this paper.

Key words: Plant communities, Alpine tundra, Mt Changbai, DCA, TWINSPAN
